Ayekooto Akindele, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and a core supporter of president Bola Tinubu, has alleged reasons former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi may remain bitter against his former principal, Muhammadu Buhari.
The popular social media influencer said in a post on his official Facebook page that Amaechi may be bitter over Buhari’s failure to endorse him during the APC presidential primary election in 2022.
According to Ayekooto, despite Amaechi’s infrastructural efforts in Buhari’s home town, Daura, the immediate past president failed to impose him (Amaechi) on the ruling party.
He wrote, “Two reasons he will never forgive Buhari; despite procuring a chieftaincy title in Daura and allocating a Transportation University there, Buhari didn’t impose him on the APC. Chai, this is unforgivable”
Ayekooto also stated that after “resigning to run a stadium marathon for APC ticket and lost shamelessly, despite begging Buhari to allow him return as minister, Buhari was just saying MININI as he didn’t understand what he was saying”.
His remarks followed Amaechi’s recent comment placing former President, Olusegun Obasanjo ahead of other previous Nigerian leaders.
Recall that Amaechi had in a recent event, described Obasanjo as the last president to create a middle class in Nigeria, stressing that the former president created an economy that generated jobs, which brought about the middle class.
