Minister for Transportation and Director-General of the Buhari Presidential Campaign Organisation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, has been caught on tape allegedly criticising President Muhammadu Buhari.
The 10 second-long audio clip was shared on Twitter by former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri.
In the clip, Amaechi purportedly said Buhari neither reads nor listens to anyone. The Minister allegedly said, “The President is not listening to anybody. He doesn’t care. You can write anything you want. The President doesn’t care. Does he read?”
The context in which Amaechi made the statement was unknown.
The person who the minister was talking to is also not stated but Omokri, is a staunch critic of the Buhari government, said he has evidence to prove the authenticity of the clip.
He also threatened to release more of such if Amaechi attempts to deny the authenticity of the clip.
Omokri wrote, “We have more of the secretly recorded audios of Chibuike Amaechi, DG of the Muhammadu Buhari campaign, saying terrible things about Buhari’s government. I hear Amaechi wants to lie that he was referring to Goodluck Jonathan.
Let him do that and I will release part two which clearly shows he referred to Buhari.”
Omokri said Amaechi had no respect for Buhari and even stated in another audio clip that former President Olusegun Obasanjo was the only Nigerian leader he respects.
He added, “The man has no iota of respect for Buhari. In fact, he (Amaechi) hero worshipped former President Obasanjo in the tape and said he is the only worthy Nigerian leader. They know the truth but hide it.”
