Rotimi Amaechi, the Minister of
transportation has disclosed what ex-President Goodluck Jonathan did to him
during the 2015 elections.
Amaechi speaking with EU
delegation on Thursday said Jonathan’s administration withdrew his security and
made him prone to attacks during the 2015 elections.
Amaechi, who is also the
Director-General of the reelection campaign of President Muhammadu Buhari, said
Jonathan as a civilian president was undemocratic than the present
administration.
According to him, he was attacked
several times as a governor during Jonathan’s administration yet nothing was
done about it.
Amaechi said: “One assurance I
will give you today is that we’ll stand by the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) and we will stand by whatever decision they make. We believe
that we promised Nigerians change and I also believe that you can observe the
change.
“By this time in 2014/2015, when
I was still in office as governor, I was on fire. Everybody was on my neck. The
then President had withdrawn my security. My ADC and CSO were on the run; there
was no police security and nobody cared. They didn’t bother that I could be
killed or attacked.
“I was attacked several times. I
was attacked in Port Harcourt. But now, we believe the President that they were
accusing that would be undemocratic because he is a retired soldier is more
democratic than a civilian that was elected in the past.
“During the Anambra State
election, when the governor cried out that his ADC had been withdrawn,
President Buhari ordered that the governor’s ADC be reinstated immediately. So
you see, that is the change we are talking about.”
