Amaechi Claims Longer Government Tenure Than Tinubu

Rotimi Amaechi, the presidential running mate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), asserted that he has been in government longer than President Bola Tinubu. During an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi stated he has accumulated 23 years of experience in government, having served as a Speaker for eight years, a governor for eight years, and a minister for nearly eight years.

In contrast, he noted that President Tinubu has served as a governor, senator, and now president, totaling less time in government roles. Amaechi emphasized that his extensive experience allows him to discuss governmental issues more comprehensively than Tinubu, who now holds the presidential office.

Additionally, Amaechi addressed the issue of fuel pricing, suggesting that lower prices could lead to smuggling from Nigeria, indicating that if fuel prices were audited, consumption would fall below N700,000.
