The Director-General of the Buhari Presidential Campaign Organisation and the Transport minister, Rotimi Amaechi, has been caught allegedly criticising President Muhammadu Buhari in a leaked audio. The clip which is less than 10 seconds, was posted on Twitter by Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan. In the clip, Amaechi, could be heard saying, Buhari neither reads nor listens to anyone.
“The President is not listening to anybody. He doesn’t care. You can write anything you want. The President doesn’t care. Does he read?”

While the context in which Amaechi made the statement is unknown, the person who the minister was talking to is also not stated. But Omokri, a staunch critic of the Buhari government, said he had evidence to show that the audio was genuine. He threatened to release more audio clips in the event that Amaechi denies the authenticity of the clip.

“We have more of the secretly recorded audios of Chibuike Amaechi, DG of the Muhammadu Buhari campaign, saying terrible things about Buhari’s government. I hear Amaechi wants to lie that he was referring to Goodluck Jonathan. Let him do that and I will release part two which clearly shows he referred to Buhari.”

Omokri said Rotimi Amaechi had no respect for Buhari and even stated in another audio clip that former President Olusegun Obasanjo was the only Nigerian leader he respects.
