One of the frontline presidential aspirants of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Rotimi Amaechi has claimed that he fought all the battles that gave Muhammadu Buhari victory in the 2015 presidential election.
In an interview with Arise TV on Friday night, Amaechi, former Minister of Transportation, countered President Bola Tinubu, who also claimed that he made late Buhari president.
Recall that in the build up to the 2023 election, Tinubu declared that he was instrumental in Buhari’s victory in 2015, declaring that it was his turn.
However, Amaechi said though he was unable to counter Tinubu then because he does not want to jeopardize his membership of the Buhari cabinet, Tinubu did not say the truth.
He insisted that aside from being the Director General of Buhari’s campaign in 2014, he fought the battle that brought the former president into power.
He said, “When I was a minister, Tinubu was claiming he made Buhari president, and I couldn’t respond because that was suicidal. Buhari could have fired me because I was still serving as a minister.
“Tinubu didn’t make Buhari president. Not only that I was the DG of the campaign, everyone knows that I did all the battle, not Tinubu”.
