Part of the statement read:
“If indeed Nigeria needs a presidential material who will is independent-minded, knowledgeable about the intricacies of Nigeria’s politics and will not be tied to the apron strings of any godfather, then Amaechi is the rightful person that possesses all these characteristics.
“As someone pointed out recently that only a northerner can win the presidency for PDP, we also make bold to say that only a southerner can do same for APC.
“If indeed, they are looking for a southerner who is a Christian to take over the baton from President Buhari, then Amaechi perfectly fits the bill. His influence cuts across all the six geopolitical zones in the country.”
Some Nigerians on the popular forum, Nairaland have been reacting to the suggestion of the group.
A Nigerian with the moniker Yinkus6750 wrote:
“Good suggestion. He should be able to perform creditable well. Also will enable the south-south zone to complete Goodluck Jonathan's tenure.”
Smart politician wrote:
“Amaechi is a good man with a good heart. He's just a victim of being a politician in a shithole country. More importantly, Amaechi can never be a weakling. I hate to see good people without courage in government because it's utterly useless.
“Nigeria doesn't just need an intelligent leader but someone who will be bold enough to step on toes. That's what Amaechi represents. Lastly, he's the second-most successful politician from the south-south zone after former president Goodluck Jonathan.”
