President Muhammadu Buhari has
disclosed that the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, created a
serious problem for him when he pledged to construct a railway linking the
South-East zone to the Northern part of Nigeria.
Buhari made the disclosure during
the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign in Enugu, on
Thursday.
He lamented that fulfilling the
promise Amaechi made would be difficult.
Buhari, however, said he would
try his best to convince the Federal Executive Council members to approve the
project.
He said: “Amaechi has made you
people a promise and I don’t know how to fulfil it. But I can see how I will
fulfil it by getting the Federal Executive Council members to approve it.”
The president said the promise
Amaechi made was not presented to the FEC, adding that it would have been
proper to get approval from FEC before making it open.
Buhari also thanked the people of
the zone for trooping out for his campaign, adding that they should always have
faith in Nigeria as they did not have any other country.
He said: “We all must join hands
to build a stronger country as we do not have any other country.”
The president reminded the people
that his government was determined to fix infrastructure in the country, adding
that “if we get the roads done, get the rail lines done, and get other
infrastructure done, we will be making progress.”
