A prominent All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain and staunch supporter of President Bola Tinubu, Ayekooto Akindele, has suggested possible reasons for former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi’s lingering dissatisfaction with former President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a post on his official Facebook page, Akindele claimed that Amaechi might harbour resentment due to Buhari’s refusal to back his presidential bid during the APC primary in 2022.
He stated that despite Amaechi’s infrastructure contributions to Buhari’s hometown, Daura, the former president reportedly declined to influence the party’s decision in his favor.
“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,” he said.
He also said, Amaechi 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.”
