A Fulani group under the umbrella of Miyetti-Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for considering former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi for ministerial appointment.

The group gave this declaration after meeting with its members from Benue and Nasarawa states on Tuesday, insisting that Amaechi posses the requisite skills and knowledge needed in achieving the plans and promises of the Buhari administration.

The secretary of MACBAN and its National legal adviser Barr. Garus Gololo stated this on behalf of the group at the end of their meeting, insisting that Amaechi’s 8 years experience as a governor would be a vital resource to the Buhari Administration.

An anti-corruption body had petitioned the nomination of Amaechi for the position of minister over alleged corruption offences committed during his tenure as governor.

The group argued that Amaechi is yet clear his name over allegations of fraud concerning the sale of the State power plants and conversion of proceeds running into $302 million, unlawful payment of over N4 billion to Clinoriv Specialist Hospital and unlawful enrichment of a firm, Messrs Collect Nigeria Ltd., with public funds amounting to over N1.5 billion.

Following the petition against his nomination, the senate had on Tuesday postponed his screening, pending the final report from the Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions. See picture here: http://www.post-nigeria.com/ministers-lonely-amaechi-gets-fulani-herdsmen-support/

Lonely Amaechi? Who dreams up all this heading? Laughing.

for betraying his people

clowns! U think ur opinion matters in politics? This is a script to make u believe in the so called rule of law. They dont want to throw the petision and screen him to go so u dont say no no! As if they care. To fulfil all righteousnes they would read it and screen him. Pdp senators would shout and scream but yet he would take a bow. Saraki would ask the support pdp would scream nay saraki would hit hi have it. Case close

He may stoill get the appointment, but the hard way.
