Former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, has revealed that he once mobilised youths to defend then-presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari during the 2015 election period.
Speaking in a recent interview, Amaechi said he purchased 150 computers, chairs, and tables for 150 youths to counter critics of Buhari online.
“When we wanted Jonathan out of office, I bought 150 computers and gave them to 150 youths. I also bought 150 chairs and 150 tables and gave them to be insulting anybody that attacks Buhari. If you insult Buhari, they will insult your grandfather, great-grandfather and so on,” he stated.
He added that, if it were in the present day, he could employ between 500 and 1,000 unemployed youths for similar purposes
