A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Princewill Dike, has declared that the minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has no reason to run down President Muhammadu Buhari.
Dike, who reacted to the alleged leaked audio recording of Amaechi’s conversation with a press team, which was released by Reno Omokiri, ex-media aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan, said that “Amaechi is one of the few ministers who have unrestrained access to the president and his ears. You can see that he has no reason to run down his beloved boss behind the scene.
“Amaechi is a man of iron cast integrity and thus double standard is not in his gene, a man of rare courage, what he can’t say before you, he won’t say it behind you.
“The enemies have failed woefully with their doctored voice of Amaechi. If you believe that cloned voice, you will as well believe their propaganda that Jubril is a cloned Buhari,” Dike said in a statement he issued in Port Harcourt yesterday.
Describing the leaked audio recording as doctored, the APC chieftain said that since the ouster of the Jonathan administration in 2015, beneficiaries of that administration had not forgiven Amaechi, who is seen as the arrowhead of their defeat.
“The latest twist is the audio doctoring of Amaechi’s voice wherein he was disparaging President Muhammadu Buhari and his achievements. Because the bonding between Buhari and Amaechi is like that of father and son: The president calls him, ‘Chibuike, my son’. Through Amaechi’s infrastructural renaissance in transportation sector, he earned the sobriquet of the poster boy of the Buhari administration,” he said.
