Leaked Audio: Return Home To PDP, Atiku Persuades Amaechi

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has asked the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, to return “home” to the main opposition party.

He made the statement in reaction to a leaked audio tape where Amaechi was heard criticizing President Muhammadu Buhari’s government.

Speaking through his Media Aide, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said, “We lament the shabby treatment of Amaechi for speaking truth to power in a leaked audio tape which led to his being made a ceremonial director general of the president’s re-election campaign organization.

“We dare say that the cold war between the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Mr. Rotimi Amaechi as well as the statements credited to the latter in a leaked tape which led to the appointment of Tinubu to take charge of the campaigns are at the least a national embarrassment to the nation.

“Amaechi must now resign and return home to the PDP where he belongs.”
