Rotimi Amaechi, director-general
of President Muhammadu Buhari’s campaign organisation, has described Lagos as a
glorified village in an audio clip leaked on Monday.
The transportation minister said
there is insufficient water and roads in Lagos while lamenting the spate of
traffic jams in the state.
The audio tape was released by
Phrank Shaibu, an aide of Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP).
Shaibu had on Sunday released an
audio where Amaechi said the only way Nigeria can change is for everybody to be
killed.
The Minister’s purported rants
subtly indicts the All Progressives Congress (APC) which has controlled Lagos
for 20 years through AD, AC, and ACN; the Co-chair of President Buhari’s
Campaign Council, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; fellow cabinet minister, Babatunde
Fashola; both of who governed the state for 16 years combined.
Amaechi “I live in Abuja, tell me
where else we have infrastructure. Lagos is a glorified village. The only
difference between Lagos and other cities is the fact that business is in
Lagos, everybody is there doing business, so you can at least have food,” he
said in the New audio clip.
“If not, tell me what else you
have in Lagos? 1,000 plus megawatts. That’s all. That’s what you have. What
else do you have? No water, there are no roads. The reason why you meet traffic
jams in Lagos is because there are no roads.”
