Groups Thronged Turban Occasion To Mobilise Support For Amaechi For President In 2023

Amaechi for President banners flood Daura.

The Emir of Daura, HRH Faruk Umar Faruk, yesterday, in Daura, Katsina State prayed for the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, whom he described as a goal getter, to attain a higher office.

The revered Emir prayed the prayer while honoring Amaechi with the title  of ‘Dan Amanar Daura’,  meaning the trusted son of Daura.

The occasion  was attended by eminent people from across Nigeria and those campaigning for the Minister as President ahead of the 2023 polls who flooded the town with ‘Amaechi for President’ banners.

The Emir said:“We are gathered here to reciprocate the kind gesture done to us by the  Hon Minister of Transportation, Chibuke Rotimi Amaechi, for his whole hearted love and support for us. 

Therefore, it is binding on the Daura traditional emirate to acknowledge the kind gesture. My prayer is for God to give you a higher office.”

Faruk said the Daura Emirate conferred the title on Amaechi also in recognition of his contributions to the socio-economic development of the country, especially for ensuring that a Transportation University is sited in Daura as well as ensuring that the Kano-Maradi Standard Gauge Railway line passes through Daura.

“We don’t give title because you have money. We give you  considering your sacrifices and impact on people’s lives, and impact on community and the nation at large,”the monarch said.
