Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has disclosed why
President Muhammadu Buhari loves Rotimi Amaechi, the outgone Minister of
Transportation.
Rufai disclosed that Buhari loves Amaechi due to his
decision to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All
Progressives Congress, APC, during the era of former President Goodluck
Jonathan.
He disclosed this when Amaechi met with APC delegates from
Kaduna ahead of the party’s national convention.
El-Rufai recalled wooing Amaechi and some other governors into the APC during the PDP administration.
“Let me tell you my history with Amaechi. When we started
discussing with the G-7, the seven governors that wanted to defect to the APC,
I was holding nocturnal meetings with Amaechi and Governor Nyako of Adamawa
State until we got five of them to move to our party, and that was the
game-changer.
“And for you to understand how difficult it is, imagine
Amaechi of Rivers State from the same South-South with incumbent President
Jonathan.
“He made the sacrifice to move to our party. It was a
game-changer. This is part of the reason President Buhari loves Minister
Amaechi till tomorrow,” El-Rufai said.
