Amaechi: Under Buhari, Nigerians Are Hungry, Poverty Is Growing — Premium Times by Brizzy404: 3:17pm On Jan 06, 2019

Nigeria’s transport minister, Rotimi Amaechi, has been heard in an audio recording to be expressing shocking pessimistic views about Nigeria and the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, whose re-election bid he leads.

The recording was shared with PREMIUM TIMES by Phrank Shaibu, a spokesperson for the Atiku Abubakar campaign.

Mr Abubakar, billionaire former vice-president, of the Peoples Democratic Party, is the main challenger of Mr Buhari, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, in next month’s presidential election.

The recording contains a portrayal of Mr Buhari as a dismal failure who has been unable to meet the expectations of various segments of the society, ending with a dismissal of Nigeria as a never-going-to-change hopeless nation.

The transcript of the recording reads: “These are not things you publish ooo. If you publish them, you will never sit with me any day.

“Three years of Buhari oo, everybody is crying, crying…pressmen are crying, farmers are crying, workers are crying, politicians are crying, students are crying, three years oo!
“The rate of poverty is very high. The people are hungry. Nigeria will never change!”

PREMIUM TIMES has not independently verified the recording. The claims, particularly regarding expectations, expressed in the recording may be correct.
Government’s own official information shows Mr Buhari has presided over a worsening national job situation, with the unemployment rate standing at 23.1 per cent by the third quarter of 2018 up from 18.8 per cent per cent by the end of 2017. However, government officials argue jobs are not dropping but that it is the number of people entering the working age bracket that By 2018, Nigeria has overtaken China and is only behind India, arguably, with the highest number of extremely poor people within one national territory.

In an earlier recording also shared by the Atiku campaign, Mr Amaechi appeared to be describing Mr Buhari as a leader that does not listen and care.
According to the recording: “The president does not listen to anybody. He doesn’t care. You can write what you want to write. The president doesn’t care. Does he read? He will read, he will laugh. He will say ‘come, come and see, they are abusing me here’. “In fact, there was one case of somebody in Onitsha, a trader in Onitsha who couldn’t sell his goats during Sallah. And I was with Oga on the plane and the man was busy abusing Buhari. He said, ‘Amaechi, come, what is my business with Onitsha goat seller?’”

When contacted, David Iyofor, the spokesperson for Mr Amaechi, said the minister’s team was still reviewing the recording and needed more time to do so before commenting on the matter.

Meanwhile, Mr Shaibu said the leaked tape has shown that even the president’s appointees lacked confidence in his ability to transform the country.
He said, “The President should just quit honourably instead of wasting taxpayers monies on a failed reelection bid. “The truth is that the other day, the President confessed that the economy had collapsed under his watch.

“On another occasion, the wife confessed to the fact that, the cabal and not her dearest husband, President Buhari was in-charge of the country and now, the Director General Of his re-election campaign has confessed to the lack of capacity of President Buhari and the dismal failure of his administration. “Truth is, the President has established a record of failures which probably no other President would ever equal or erase. Mrs Aishat Buhari was partially correct when she stated that two people are preventing her husband from performing well. With this audio tape, if the two don’t include her husband then she is not completely being truthful.”

It is not the first time a minister would appear to be expressing no confidence in the leadership of Mr Buhari in a leaked recording.
Former minister for women affairs, Aisha Alhassan, was in a recording – which he admitted – saying she preferred Mr Abubakar to Mr Buhari as president from 2019.

Many Nigerians now understand that the “PDP destroyed Nigeria for 16 years” is just blame game to distract Nigerians from Buhari’s woes and incompetence.

Nigerians now also know what really happened in 1983 when Buhari first ruled. How he ran down Nigeria and continued blaming Shagari for his failures.

If you see Buhari see BH, run from Buhari first before taking cover from BH

Lolz.. It is finished grin grin grin... When I told the zombies earlier today that they should hold fire that Reno isn't done yet.. They did listen and were mastubating.... embarassed


jmaine:
The tape is a worse indictment on the Aso rock dullard self.

Imagine not feeling concerned about the sufferings of the populace especially those you consider lesser citizens.

Is the Onitsha goat seller not supposed to feel and complain about the pinch of recession the lifeless one foisted on him and his immediate family.

Is the Fulani cattle herdsmen more important than the Onitsha farmer he listens to and even goes out of his way by proposing to import grass for for their cattle to feed.


Reno is busy baiting the opposition and they are falling for it....

Part 2 and 3 is on the way... Please stay tuned..

Even Premium times has joined the lie. At the end of the audio Amaechi actually said NIGERIANS WILL NEVER CHANGE and not NIGERIA WILL NEVER CHANGE.

He was simply mocking the mindset of Nigerians for complaining over 3 years of buhari as if they didn't have the same issues for 16 years of PDP.

Exactly. He is simply mocking the mindset of some Nigerians who are fond of complaining and not being patient enough to reap due benefits.

Even where the supposed tape began from suggests he most probably just revealed something supporting buharis government and said but people will never publish these things and if they did, they wouldn't be sitting with him interviewing him and he went on to talk about the mindset of some Nigerians aka wailers who complain about everything and have already started complaining in just 3 years of Bihari while they endured the 16 years of PDP.

Probably why they are splitting the tapes in part. I just wish they can publish the full tape without cutting parts and posting. It would have revealed what he said and meant.

Anyway, I trust pdp to always being the first to shoot themselves in the leg. When the full transcript or audio is published, they would look for somewhere to hide their face.
