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.

When he was asked by Daily Sun for his comments on the audio, Amaechi said: “Nothing. I am not aware of any audio recording.”

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.”
