Transportation Minister and APC presidential aspirant  Chibuike Amaechi took his consultation to Ooni Adeyeye Eniitan Ogunwusi on Monday, and he got an earful from the monarch.

Amaech declared last week that he would e gunnig for his party ticket, and started his consultation for Nigeria’s utmost political power almost immediately.

Ogunwusi, however, told him “power belongs to God.

“It’s not by your might; it’s not by your power, nor by your doing. In terms of leadership, it is God that gives power,” the monarch said.

“I know you are a fervent and hard believer of God Almighty, anything you do, you pray to God. Don’t relent, do not relent, keep praying to God.

“Leadership is stewardship. You’ve been to different leadership positions from different strata. In terms of governance, you’ve seen it all. But the one that you’re trying to aspire to now, by the very special grace of God, it’s God that will take you there.

“We are paying for you from the throne of Oduduwa. On this throne of our ancestors God will continue to guide you, God will continue to see you through, God will continue to favour you, honour you and put you through in everything you do…”

Amaechi got som warm welcome in his first consultation in Daura, Katsina where the emir gave his blessing to the presidential aspirant.

The south-south candidate already holds a traditional title in Daura, the home town of President Muhammadu Buhari.
