Buhari must fire Amaechi - PDP
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has challenged President Muhammadu
Buhari to demand the immediate resignation of Mr. Rotimi Amaechi as the
Minister of Transportation to demonstrate the President’s integrity.
The opposition party accused Amaechi, who is the Minister of
Transportation and Director-General of the Buhari Campaign Organisation
of using government fund to campaign for Buhari.
In a statement on Friday by the spokesman for the PDP, Kola
Ologbondiyan, the party noted that through his actions, Amaechi has
demonstrated the height of corruption both in Buhari administration and
the person of his campaign DG.
The PDP wondered how Amaechi will compare President Buhari to the PDP
candidate, Atiku Abubakar, who the party said, has been generally
accepted as the next President of Nigeria, stressing that Amaechi has
finally lost touch with Nigerians.
The statement said, “If Amaechi has not lost touch with reality, how
would he be comparing Atiku Abubakar, who is widely celebrated by
Nigerians across board, due to his integrity and proven competence in
managing resources, to President Buhari, who Nigerians know is
responsible for the grinding hardship, hunger, starvation and escalating
insecurity in the nation in the last three and half years?
“How can Amaechi compare Atiku Abubakar, a known and tested nationalist,
who has become the rallying point for national rejuvenation and
reawakening to President Buhari, who has sunk the nation deeper into the
sea of nepotism, divisiveness, dissensions and agonizing despondency?
“How can any one compare Atiku Abubakar, an epitome of wealth creation
and youth empowerment to President Buhari whose tenure will only be
remembered by Nigerians for hardship, unemployment, job losses, wealth
destruction, economic frustrations and destruction of institutions that
engender good governance and freedom?
“Is it not an aberration to attempt to compare Atiku Abubakar, who
played key role in a government that paid our nation’s foreign debt, to
President Buhari, whose administration specializes in accumulating
debts, borrowing money to service debts and plunging our generations yet
unborn into bondage?
“How can Amaechi compare Atiku Abubakar, a promoter of democracy and
fundamental human rights to President Buhari whose administration has
stood down all known democratic virtues, and relishes in violation of
human rights, disobedience to court orders, disdain for constitutional
order and condoning extra-judicial killing, harassment and illegal
detention of citizens as detailed in reports by international bodies?
“While it is a settled fact that President Buhari cannot be a match to
Atiku Abubakar, we understand Amaechi’s frustration as a beleaguered
salesman of a derelict product, but he should have known that for
Nigerians, Atiku Abubakar represents light and a brighter future whereas
President Buhari and his All Progressives Congress (APC) represent a
national misfortune.
“Amaechi is aware of the murmurings and frustration even in the
Presidency regarding President Buhari’s failures in governance and that
most of his ministers, aides and political associates no longer believe
in his re-election since Atiku Abubakar emerged as PDP Presidential
candidate.
“Finally, the PDP counsels Amaechi to prepare to return to Rivers state
to face his multiple corruption indictments instead of trying to promote
a failed candidate”.
