Minister of transportation and director-general of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, Rotimi Amaechi, has dismissed an audio recording where he was alleged to have criticized President Muhammadu Buhari.

In the audio which has now gone viral on social media, Amaechi was quoted to have said President Buhari do not read newspapers or listen to news on the economic situation in the country.

“The president does not listen to anybody. He doesn’t care. You can write what you want to write. Does he read? I was flying with him in an aircraft and we saw a news report where a goat seller was complaining that he couldn’t sell his goats during Sallah because of he Buhari’s administration. And the president said what’s my business with goat sellers?” the minister allegedly said in the audio that is yet to verified for authenticity.

Further told that the audio was gaining momentum on different online websites, Amaechi asked: “Do I do website?”

Meanwhile, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has said that the trending leaked audio recordings alleged to be the voice of Amaechi, has confirmed that voting Buhari for a second term in office means bringing starvation to Nigerians.

Atiku also said that the recording has revealed the minister as confirming that Nigeria “was beyond redemption because the country was yet to find a leader that can confront the enormous challenges facing it.”

He continued: “Truth is, the president has established a record of failures which probably no other president would ever equal or erase.

“Mrs Aishat Buhari was partially correct when she stated that two people are preventing her husband from performing well. With this audio tape, if the two don’t include her husband then she is not completely being truthful.”

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.
