Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has praised Rotimi Amaechi, describing him as a statesman whose contributions to Nigeria continue to have a lasting impact.

 

Atiku made this known in a post shared on X on Wednesday after visiting Amaechi at his residence in Abuja.

 

He said the meeting was both engaging and productive.

 

“Today, I had an engaging and fruitful audience with my dear brother, H.E. Rotimi Amaechi, at his residence in Abuja,” he wrote.

 

Atiku highlighted Amaechi’s long record in public service, noting that he has served as speaker, governor and minister.

 

“Amaechi is a statesman whose distinguished service as a two-time Speaker, two-time Governor, and two-time Minister continues to echo in the annals of our national life,” he said.

 

He also expressed appreciation for the way he and his delegation were received during the visit.

 

“I remain deeply grateful for the warmth, grace, and generosity of spirit with which he received me and my delegation,” Atiku added.

 

Recall that both politicians are reportedly eyeing the presidential ticket under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
