A former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has narrated how he worked with the ex-governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, to work against the second-term ambition of Goodluck Jonathan.

Speaking at the book launch by Lamido, the former Rivers State governor said there were quite a number of times when they both disagreed on political issues.

According to Amaechi, at the beginning of his friendship with Lamido, he (Amaechi) had thought that the former Jigawa governor was as radical as he is.

Both Amaechi and Lamido were in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before the buildup of the 2015 general election.

Amaechi, however, left the PDP for the All Progressives Congress (APC), which later won the presidential poll with Muhammadu Buhari as its candidate.

Highlighting some of the incidents that took place at that time, Amaechi said, “We had our bad times that we disagreed, I made the mistake of assuming that he was as radical as I was, so he was one of the governors I clung to when it came to radical decisions.”

He further stated that one of the incidents that severed their political relationship was when they planned to work against Jonathan during the 2015 poll.

“And I will tell you one of the reasons, there were several things that happened in the course of our friendship. The last one before we broke ranks was that we agreed, all of us agreed to go against President Goodluck Jonathan.

“And we formed a committee, governors and all that. At the end of the day, he (Lamido) was to find a new party called the SDP.

“We said if we go to the new party, we would lose elections,” Amaechi stated.

Otilor, now see what wicked wike is doing with where you left

This was where betrayal began before Bukola and the rest migrated to APC

Politics of personal interest... Was never about the good of the country

What you cooked in the secret is now what you are exposing to the public all in the name of staying political relevant.

The lizard of Ubima

Lot's of jobless Politicians are now hungry amd spewing thrash but unfortunately, this is how they will lament till 2031
#lamentationofrotimi

History never forget

Amaechi the c0ward

One day too they will say how they knew PO won the 2023 election but........

Honestly Amaechi cannot be trusted with secrets .

Shameless man

Out of twelve disciples, there must be a Judas. You betrayed your own brother because of politics and now tell me has Buhari done better than Jonathan?. IRE O

politics

Yes he won in agulu and Anambra.

He can't be the president

Ikwerre people too talk. Stop telling us what happened 10 years before you talk yourself into trouble. You're telling us that Sule Lamido did in 2015 what Wike did in 2023. You were in PDP and worked against your candidate

This Judas is still talking

Lol..

The confused online nonentities only do blame Tinubu / Yoruba..

Many SS politicians didn’t support Jonathan re-election but nah Yoruba be their problem..

Amaechi contributed greatly to nigeria's current situation.

These politicians are wicked beings. They will never work together to improve the well-being of Nigerians but would always work together for selfish purposes. May they know no peace everyone of them that have a hand in what Nigeria is going through today.

Why r telling us
R u now regretting....
What do you want us to do ....

Stupid man, and your making sense. Proud to work against your brother.

This f00ls think they would be forgiven anytime soon... The more the revelations, the more the crucifixion & the condemnation they deserve. Very unloyal, selfish set of people. These long talks only make us know how terrible they are when it comes to trusting in them.

You betrayed Jonathan for the incompetent nepotistic, tribalistic bigot of an idiot called buhari. You might escape judgement in your lifetime but surely your generation will not.

Exactly what wike is doing today.
Betrayed Peter obi for tinubu.

Shameless jobless politicians. No positive ideology, no vision ,no integrity, no competence, no empathy for the people .
Shameless people.
Without politics, they are nothing.

You will be haunted forever for the evil you did in 2015 that brought these calamities on the nation and set our trajectory backwards.

I never truly liked this man even before he became governor

nPDP destroyed PDP, and gave APC power.

Always talking senselessly. Now see where your betrayal and treachery has landed you.

How many Ikwerre people have you spoken to? Just because you know about two politicians from the ethnic group, you reached a useless conclusion. You guys don't like hearing the truth. What is so secret about what was said? Much ado about nothing.
