The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has congratulated two chieftains of the All Progressives Congress – Minister of Transportation and two-time Director-General of his election campaigns, Rotimi Amaechi; and businessman, Nasiru Danu, on the conferment of chieftaincy titles on them on Saturday by the Daura Emirate Council.
Buhari’s congratulatory message was contained in a statement signed on Friday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, titled ‘President Buhari welcomes Daura title to Amaechi, says rail transformation is a great legacy’.
Buhari described the conferment of the title of “Dan Amana,” (the trusted one) to Amaechi as a clear commitment to the harmonious relationship between the nation’s diverse cultures. Danu is being turbaned as Tafida Babba of Daura.
He commended the Minister “for working with enormous energy to make the CHANGE we promised Nigerians a reality. The change we are witnessing in the transport sector is an extraordinary legacy.”
Though the president will not be at the event, he has designated a delegation of three, made up of the Ministers of Water Resources, Sulaiman Adamu; Aviation, Hadi Sirika and the Senior Special Assistant (Media and Publicity), Garba Shehu to represent him.
