The Director-General of
the Buhari Presidential Campaign Organisation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, has been
caught on tape allegedly criticising President Muhammadu Buhari.
The audio clip, which is
less than 10 seconds, was posted on Twitter by Reno Omokiri, a former aide to
ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.
In the clip which has not
yet been authenticated, Amaechi, who is also the Minister of Transportation,
purportedly said Buhari neither reads nor listens to anyone.
Amaechi purportedly 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. However, Omokri, who is a staunch
critic of the Buhari government, said he had evidence to show that the audio
was genuine.
He threatened to release
more audio clips in the event that Amaechi denies 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.”
Attempts to get a
response from Amaechi proved abortive as his Spokesman, David Iyofor neither
responded to phone calls nor a text message sent to him on Saturday.
