Amaechi Claims Credit for Buhari's 2015 Victory Over Tinubu
In a recent interview, Rotimi Amaechi, the former Governor of Rivers State and ex-Minister of Transport, claimed significant credit for Muhammadu Buhari's victory in the 2015 presidential election, while minimizing Bola Tinubu's contributions. Amaechi stated that during his tenure as a minister, he did not publicly challenge Tinubu's assertions to avoid jeopardizing his position within the APC.
He emphasized that he was the Director General of Buhari's 2015 campaign and played a crucial role in the formation of the APC, which ultimately defeated the PDP and Goodluck Jonathan. Amaechi's remarks come amid his aspirations for the presidency in 2027 and reflect ongoing tensions within the opposition coalition, particularly regarding Tinubu's administration and the economic challenges facing Nigeria.
