Transport minister Rotimi Amaechi has expressed happiness over the emergence of Senator Abdullahi Adamu as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress.

“We are satisfied with his emergence as National Chairman because he will bring his wealth of experience to the party’s advancement,” he said.

Mr Amaechi expressed this sentiment in an interview on Sunday, saying Mr Adamu would be a great chairman.

The minister, rumoured to be eyeing the presidency in 2023, described Mr Adamu as a bridge builder.

“He will be a great chairman because he is a bridge builder.

Mr Amaechi added that Mr Adamu’s chairmanship is a roadmap to the party’s unity and harmony.

According to him, his chairmanship will  be an all-inclusive one because of his love for the party.
