Amaechi: When I Was A Governor, Osinbajo Was Just A Mere Commissioner by ganisucks(op): 5:30pm On May 18, 2022
Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has said he is more qualified to lead Nigeria than Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and former Lagos governor, Bola Tinubu.

Amaechi disclosed this on Wednesday during his visit to Kano as part of his consultations ahead of the All Progressives Congress’ presidential primary election.

The former minister resigned from President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet to pursue his presidential ambition under the platform of the APC.

Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, during the meeting, however, refused to endorse Amaechi.

Ganduje, who is known to be an ally of Tinubu, said Kano as a “swing state, will continue to swing”.

He added that Amaechi would know where the state eventually swings to at the appropriate time.

Meanwhile, the former minister said he was more qualified than Tinubu, noting that the former Lagos governor had never been a minister, and even as a lawmaker, Tinubu only served for a few months.

He added that he was more qualified than Vice President Yemi Osinbajo because while Osinbajo was a commissioner in Lagos, he was already a Speaker of Rivers State House of Assembly.

He added that he ended up as a two-term governor while the VP’s only other appointment after being a commissioner was as Vice president.

Errm, and so?

These papers just pick headlines to force a rift between political allies, most notorious being SR.

I'm pretty sure Amaechi didn't mean that in a malicious way.

Well that was not how he stated it.

However, this is allowed. He is campaigning for himself and using the method he thinks can place him above his colleague, even tho what he said is a very lame argument for superiority.

Osinbajo is now the VP and previously acting president. He can also flaunt this as to why he is better and more experienced that Amaechi.

When Osinbajo was doing his PhD Amaechi was a political thug then......is not hw far but hw well, nw his d VP and Amaechi is just a mere minister that could have been sacked by Osinbajo when he was acting as president


So there's nothing to campaign about rather than attack just as his idiot supporters have been doing on nairaland grin grin grin

Amaechi is confused and obviously living in d past, so bcoz Osinbajo was formally a commissioner then is d reason dey should support u instead....that's d most childish and foolish campaign strategy have seen grin

Moreover Osinbajo was only commissioner to tinubu and Amaechi was governor during Fashola tenure so hw is Osinbajo commissioner when he was governor, did he even know d period Osinbajo was a commissioner

Amaechi remains the most matured of all the candidates so far, even when the so called elder have been boasting amaechi have maintained mutual respect in all

If this is true ....its very childish and myopic. Osinbajo is a Vice President today making all of your Cv extremely below his status. We need issue based campaign and not rubbing shoulders. I trust vp not to dignify any of you with response.

Osinbajo was no longer a Commissioner when you became a Governor

Very stupid comment.

Labalaba dey call himself bird. I am not an Osinbanjo fan but I know that he has never been in the same caliber as Osinbanjo.

While he was a mere personal assistant to Dr. Peter Odili, Osinbanjo was long a professor of law and very well known.

He should take his disrespectful comment along with him to Wike in Rivers state and confront him there. Na Wike be him mate, no be Osinbanjo.

Most of these guys don't respect Osinbajo. They see him as a toddler in politics. Saraki said same thing some time ago.
