Rotimi Amaechi Details His Technical Resignation from Buhari's Govt
Rotimi Amaechi, the former Governor of Rivers State and vice presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress, disclosed that he "technically resigned" from the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari. Amaechi, who served as Minister of Transportation from November 2015 until May 2022, stated that he reduced his presence at the ministry after receiving approval from Buhari to pursue further education.
During an interview with AIT, he explained that he sought permission from Buhari to enroll in a university program, which was granted. Consequently, he reported to the office only once a week, specifically on Wednesdays.
He characterized this arrangement as a form of resignation from his governmental duties. Amaechi officially resigned from the Federal Executive Council in May 2022 to contest in the All Progressives Congress presidential primary election.
