Amaechi To Supporters: I Need Money, Not Presidential Seat

Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, has denied reports that he is contesting for the 2023 presidential election.

Amaechi made the confirmation to newsmen on Saturday.

Recall that some groups had called on the APC chieftain to run for presidency in 2023.

Also, Governor Nasir El-Rufai had also said he would only run for the 2023 presidency either as a presidential aspirant or a running mate to the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi if President Muhammadu Buhari insists.

Reacting, Amaechi said “The people that want me to run for the presidency in 2023 should just give me the money. I need money to survive.”
