2023 Presidency: Tinubu, Amaechi Engage In Debate, Video, Photo Go Viral
- Two APC presidential aspirants, Rotimi Amaechi and Bola Ahmed Tinubu, were engaged in a debate recently
- Among Facebook subscribers who saw a video clip of the debate, one of them claimed that Tinubu has finally agreed to work for Amaechi's presidential ambition
- But this could be one out of many outrageous conclusions which are yet to be confirmed and could be false
The minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, and the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, were seen recently engaging in a debate.
Both chieftains of the ruling party have at different times indicated interest to run for the presidency and possibly emerge as President Muhammadu Buhari's successor in 2023.
Although the audio of the debate is not clear, in the video, Amaechi could be heard saying something about an issue having to be only between himself and the former Lagos governor.
A photo of the said debate was shared by Joe Igbokwe, an aide to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Nigerians react to Tinubu and Amaechi's meeting
A Facebook user, Comr Emma Eteng, who saw the video concluded that Jagaban has finally agreed to work for Amaechi's presidential ambition.
However, Legit.ng cannot verify if Tinubu and Amaechi reached any such conclusion in their debate.

"Finally, Baba has accepted to work for the success of Rt Hon Rotimi Chibuike Ameachi's Presidential ambition."
Another subscriber, Suleiman Oshiomhare Shehu, said:
"The Audio is faint na."
2023 presidency: Amaechi opens up on loyalty
Meanwhile, Amaechi had described himself as a very loyal person.
According to the former governor of Rivers, true loyalty is tested when situations do not favour the person in question.
The minister said this during a consultative meeting at the Rivers APC secretariat.
He claimed that if President Buhari decided to choose another presidential aspirant other than himself, he will support the person.

Amaechi had taken his consultation to Ogun. Speaking with Governor Dapo Abiodun and APC delegates in the state on Monday, April 25, the minister of transportation noted that he has the experience to lead Nigeria in 2023.
The former Rivers governor mentioned that although Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is a son of Ogun and known as a man of honour, his (Amaechi's) experience matter.
