Amaechi Reveals 'Technical Resignation' from Buhari's Cabinet
Rotimi Amaechi, the former Minister of Transportation and vice presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, recounted his gradual withdrawal from Muhammadu Buhari's administration due to dissatisfaction with its direction. In an interview on AIT, he reflected on his experiences and political journey ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Amaechi confronted Buhari privately about the government's failure to meet the expectations of Nigerians who voted for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2015, reminding him of the governance style of 1983. He sought Buhari's permission to attend university while still serving as minister, which allowed him to report to the ministry only on Wednesdays, effectively indicating a resignation from his government role.
Amaechi was a significant figure in the political movement that brought Buhari to power in 2015 and served as Minister of Transportation until May 2022.
