The recent declaration by Nigeria’s Minister of Transportation, His Excellency, Rt Hon Chief, Chibuike Amaechi, that he has joined the 2023 presidential race has been described as good omen for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and a vindication of the South East Nigeria Democratic League (SENDL) which was in the forefront of calling on him to declare intention to serve.

Coordinator of the group, Prince Jude Emeka Okoye made the assertion while speaking to

journalists in Awka, Anambra State yesterday, said that Amaechi remains the most competent aspirant with a pan-Nigerian acceptance and support base to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to Okoye, for a man who has been on th political arena for over two decades with knowledge of serving at local, state and national levels, Ameachi will make the ideal President especially now that the country is buffeted by multifarous challenges. Nigeria requires a man with the experience and courage to confront

insecurity, challenges of greater accountability in governance, youth unemployment and the scourge of spiral poverty. Amaechi is the man."

Okoye said that SENDL as a grassroots group is elated at the latest development which ultimately makes Amaechi the man to beat and called on the APC faithfuls to rally round the Minister so as to ensure APC has a formidable candidate in 2023. Okoye further assured that the group is already mobilizing support for Amaechi beyond the South East and it's diaspora wing to all parts of the Federation.

Chief Amaechi's recent declaration to contest is believed to have heightened expectations among APC faithfuls and anxious Nigerians who are eager to get competent and tested leaders in the race to become Nigeria's next President.
