Amaechi Accuses Ribadu of Political Maneuvering

Rotimi Amaechi, a former Minister of Transport, has publicly accused Nuhu Ribadu of engaging in political maneuvers, suggesting that Nasir El-Rufai, the former Governor of Kaduna State, lacks the technical ability to hack Ribadu's phone. This accusation was made during a phone conversation on EAGLE Radio.

The controversy is rooted in a historical political rivalry that dates back to a 2007 public opinion survey commissioned by Bola Tinubu, the Governor of Lagos State, which showed Ribadu with a 45% approval rating compared to El-Rufai's 7%. Akin Osuntokun, a former political adviser to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, elaborated on the political dynamics and tensions that have persisted since then.

The rivalry has reportedly led to ongoing animosity, with Amaechi expressing skepticism about El-Rufai's capabilities in this context. The discussion highlights the complex relationships and historical grievances among key political figures in Nigeria.
