Contrary to claims by former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, that he made the late Muhammadu Buhari president, the lawmaker representing Edo North Senatorial District, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has said Amaechi did not even vote for Buhari in 2015.

Oshiomhole, who spoke on Sunday in an interview on The Mic On Podcast, said the African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain could not vote because he was “overwhelmed” by the former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike.

According to the lawmaker, Amaechi, who served as the Director-General of Buhari’s campaign, instructed his supporters in Rivers State to boycott the election.

He said, “Amaechi lied that he made Buhari president. Amaechi was not able to vote for Buhari in 2015 because he unwisely directed the people of Rivers State to boycott the polls as he was overwhelmed by the forces of Wike.

“As Director-General of the campaign, he asked his people not to vote.”

Amaechi had, in an interview on Arise TV, claimed that it was he, and not Tinubu, who made Buhari president in 2015.

The blogosphere was inundated with reports of the excessive sharing of dollars at the All Progressives Congress which took place during the latter part of last week.

One APC supporter and Special Adviser to Osun Governor on Environment, BolaIlori had blown the scandal open after he saw the beginning stages of the dollarization in action.

He took to his Facebook page and scribbled, “Crazy things are happening here!!! Some of these cannot represent the change Nigeria is yearning for. Excessive dollarization by one of the aspirants to is to say the least obscene. I have been involved in political process for decades now, I have never witnessed this volume of raw dollarization of party primaries. I only read about this kind of things in PDP primaries. A question been asked by conscientious delegates is that whoever can be giving out between $2000 to $5000 to…delegates certainly does not represent the kind of change Nigerians want…those who contributed to the pauperization of Nigeria now revel in dollarization… majority of Ondo delegates are still standing with Buhari but have been reduced from 85% to 70% within 24 hours…the remaining has gone with dollars ooo.!!!!!”

One has to wonder how Buhari was able to win the primaries in this era of stomach infrastructure where dollars are like the Biblical manna that God sent down from heaven to nourish the Israelites as they made their way to the promised land.

Sources close to the APC with knowledge of the way the Primaries unfolded have revealed that it was Rivers State Governor, A[b]maechi who flew back to Rivers State and returned to Lagos on Thursday morning with enough dollars to make Benjamin Franklin blush.[/b]

It has been revealed that Atiku offered the delegates $5000 each, but Amaechi doubled it to $10000 a pop. Thus turning the tables in favour of General Buhari.

Since his adventure into the APC, Amaechi has gone out of his way to prove himself a party loyalist, always the first to shoki or azonto at the many events the APC holds, which he himself is usually the chief sponsor.

According to party insiders, Amaechi has overtaken Tinubu as the major financier of the party. One does not need to wonder why he is always at President Jonathan’s throat over misappropriated oil wells or other such business. Anything that diminishes from the State’s coffers will have a ripple effect on his funding budget for the APC.

And what doe this ugly soul mean by "the forces of Wike"?

This is one thing about Oshiomole I hate so much.

He goes to the Senate house forming hollier than thou,,, he then goes to Edo to rig elections,, then he then goes around glorifying impunity and corruption as long as they are done by his friends!

Only a matter of time and

Parachoko:
Can you provide evidence Oshiomole rig in Edo state?

You don't hate Obi for rigging in the South East in 2023

Lets see Edo state election result make we compare am with election result from Obi's South East, so we go know where rigging really took place

UKEMY:
Oshiomhole looks like someone that is Mad 💢
Can he Travel from Abuja to Auchi his home town.
He has been in the senate and no meaningful projects for Edo North.
As a governor,he couldn't even build a bypass from Okene to Auchi.
I laugh at people tht thinks Oshiomhole is a saint,whereas he is now codedly a Dictator

I don't understand,,

We are talking between Oshiomole and Amaechi,, wetin bring Obi inside this matter?

Abi did you skip your meds?

Same Oshiomole who was at the Senate shouting down the place about integrity not goes elsewhere talking about 'forces of Wike'

Same you who is so convinced that Obi rigged in the East without providing any evidence, you are now asking me for evidence that Oshiomole rigged in Edo.
😂

You're just confused.

AMINDA:
While some members of the APC were sincere about changing the status quo and bringing genuine change in 2015, others were jealous of the abuse of power, high-handedness and impunity displayed by Wike under the PDP and immediately co-opted him into their party as soon as they won in 2023. We are only now getting to know who is who.

franvincoop:
How did you forget he is also a professional masseuse who gives massages on private jets to xenophobic bannies?

Vision101:
You may hate Wike and sometimes I get disgusted with how raw he is but you must accept that he played one of the smartest politics in 2023.

He vowed to deny Atiku success and he achieved this.

Two frontliners approached him with their proposals. He evaluated them. He looked at who had the capacity to win and keep his word. Finally he made his choice and his choice didn't fail him. He's as at now the first person to be a "third term" state governor in Nigeria and most likely he might become "fourth term" state governor from 2027.

He even got good deals for his friends in their Ggroup that contributed nothing to his principal. I think Wike likes PBAT's brain, audacity and bridge- building qualities. Few politicians in Nigeria agree to deals and honour them to the satisfaction of the parties.

Parachoko:
You are an Obidient who believed Oshiomole rigged in Edo state.

Bring Edo state result, let's compare it with results from Obi's South East

If you want evidence come to my house and collect evidence.
