A group known as the Progressive Volunteers Group, (PVG), has called on the Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Ameachi, to contest the 2023 presidential election.
Dame Ibifuro, convener of the group in a statement yesterday, said Amaechi needs to contest to consolidate on the legacies of president, Muhammadu Buhari.
The group hailed the performance and achievements of Amaechi in the railway and other sectors under his jurisdiction.
She also said they are ready to support any candidate presented by the party.
“To consolidate on President Muhammadu Buhari’s legacies, the group lends its voice to increase the call on Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Ameachi to present himself for the office of President of Nigeria in 2023 presidential election under the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress,” it said.
“The group is not interested in picking or pushing for an interested individual for any elective position to the party but ready to give full support and mobilize for any candidate presented by the party at the various levels just as it did during the activities leading to the 2019 general elections,” the group added.
