Nigeria must be rescued from drift, despair-Atiku
Atiku visiting Rottimi Amaechi
Explains why he visited Ex-Rivers gov, Rotimi Amaechi
Former Vice President and presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, says there is an “urgent responsibility on patriotic Nigerians to continue engaging in the search for solutions that can rescue our country from drift and despair”.
Speaking in an X post made after visiting former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, on Thursday in Abuja, Atiku said they spoke on the “troubling state” of the country and the need for patriotic Nigerians to seek solutions to national challenges.
“This afternoon, I visited my brother and compatriot, former governor of Rivers state and ex-minister of transportation, Chief Rotimi Amaechi, at his Abuja residence.
“Beyond the warmth and camaraderie, we had deep and honest conversations about the troubling state of our nation, the growing economic pain, insecurity, and the urgent responsibility on patriotic Nigerians to continue engaging in the search for solutions that can rescue our country from drift and despair,” he wrote.
The ADC presidential candidate also congratulated Amaechi on his birthday and jested over the English premier league new champion Arsenal’s recent success.
“I also felicitated with him on the occasion of his birthday yesterday and teased that Arsenal’s historic triumph could not have arrived at a better time. Chief Amaechi, a thoroughly well-loaded Gunner, took the banter in very good spirits.
“In true Rivers hospitality, he apologised for not having enough time to prepare Fisherman Soup, a delicacy I have now been promised on our return for the second leg,” he added.
