Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has revealed that he enjoyed teaming up with the North, to kick out former President, Goodluck Jonathan, from power.
Amaechi made this disclosure when he paid a courtesy visit on Governor Aminu Tambuwal, at the Government House, Sokoto.
Amaechi revealed that Jonathan’s removal was mainly planned, hatched, and perfected in Sokoto, the seat of the Caliphate.
He said: “I have been to Sokoto severally, especially in 2015 during our struggle to change Nigeria. Sokoto played a very critical role in that struggle. The then governor, Aliyu Wamakko and then Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, worked together and closely with us to ensure we achieved our objective.
“The two of them moved with us to the APC; they were equally part of the new Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). I recall my conversations with Tambuwal when we moved to APC. I had told him that we had moved and he asked whether I was the only one. I told him that I moved with the Governors, but he inquired if his Governor, Wamakko, equally moved with us. I told him we will issue a statement concerning his Governor. As God will have it, the Governor himself issued a statement declaring that he was solidly in support of the movement to the APC.
“This meeting today reminds me of all that struggle and our meetings in Sokoto, especially with Wamakko and Tambuwal to strategise for the 2015 Presidential election. I must thank him and other Nigerians for that support, because the desired change would not have come if they did not come together to support and work for the APC to ensure the emergence of President Buhari.
“The truth of the matter is that as Nigerians, we knew it would have been difficult for Nigeria if PDP had won that Presidential election. All of us were scared of what would happen to Nigeria and that was why we decided that the only way to stop what will happen is to ensure that PDP did not win and to God’s glory and our prayers, APC won.
“When I said things would have been difficult, I was talking about the economy. As at that time, if you remember, fuel queues had returned, poverty was coming back, the money stolen was too much that there was no money in the hands of Nigerians, and there was need and desire for a change, and effective change that will safe resources for Nigerians.”
