Nigerians react as Amaechi turns down VP slot
@OzumbaPros7380
Atikulates are always begging everyone to become their VP, once you refuse you become their enemy. They begged OBI,SM and Amaechi. It's high time Atiku steps down to save himself from this embarrassment.
@fspevent
His response for me does not sound like someone who have the character to lead and this is very unfortunate.
@AbrahamOriaifo
What Popularity does Mr Amaechi think he has in Nigeria?? It’s surprising tho.
@chukwu_ebu30900
If not this is on camera I believe Amaechi will clap this journalist for call he vice president.

For me this was the funniest part of the video . The way his face changed. Lion of Ubima!!!! Amana Daura!!!

Rotimi Amaechi obviously has a price, but i think it's a price Atiku cannot afford (not necessarily money). And if it's a fight, trust me, he possesses that strength to put up an entertaining one. Atiku & David mark should be prepared, it's going to be a long fight.
