Exclusive: Amaechi Favourite To Partner Buhari For 2015 Presidential Poll

Baring any last minute change of plans, the leadership of the All Progressive Congress will announce Rivers State Governor, Governor Rotimi Amaechi, as the running mate to General Muhammadu Buhari this weekend.

Governor Amaechi has always been on top of the list ever since it became clear that General Buhari will be lead the APC in the fight to wrestle power from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party. He is the peoples' choice, according to a recent poll undertaken by SAHARA REPORTERS.

For a couple of days now, there has been tense media speculation and scrutiny with regard to who to be the running mate of Buhari. Various names were mentioned as possible candidates: Oshiomhole, and yesterday, Prof. Osibanjo. The underlining words, in reaction to these names, have been: disaster, disappointment, APC has failed, etc.

The leadership of the All Progressives Congress are very much inclined to listening to the popular opinions of the masses and as a result, this has further made them backpedal to adopting Governor Amaechi as Buhari's running mate.

The choice of who to run with Buhari has always fallen to the Governors to decide. In a recent agreement among the party leaders, a decision was reached to make a serving governor of the party the running mate to Buhari. This further led to narrowing their choices to Oshiomhole and Amaechi; however, it is becoming glaring now that Governor Amaechi has finally gotten the nod above the rest.
