Badaru stated this when Amaechi, the former Minister of Transport, met with delegates from the state.
“There will be no contest between me and Amaechi. It is either I run or he runs, but for sure, I cannot run against him,” Badaru said.
Earlier, the former minister appealed to the APC delegates to vote for him because he is competent and a detribalised Nigerian.

“Judge me by past records, not what people think and say I am. I have to be the president of Nigeria because of my trajectory.”
