Nasir El-Rufai, Governor of Kaduna has revealed why President Muhammadu Buhari loves Rotimi Amaeachi, the outgone Minister of Transportation.
According to el-Rufai, 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.
This was made known by el-Rufai 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.
