There was general laughter when
President Muhammadu Buhari asked Rotimi Amaechi, minister of transportation,
and Adebayo Shittu, his communications counterpart, to take the opening prayer
at the ongoing federal executive council (FEC) meeting.
As soon as Buhari announced the
name of Amaechi for the Christian prayer, one of the minister shouted “no
election,” amid laughter.
Buhari had referred to Shittu as
“minister of communications, Oyo State,” eliciting laughter among the
ministers.
Shittu failed to deliver Oyo for
Buhari in the February election as Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) won the presidential election in the state.
Atiku won with 366,640 to defeat
Buhari who scored 365,229 votes.
The APC in Oyo also lost the
governorship poll to the PDP.
Like Shittu, Amaechi, who was the
director-general of Buhari’s campaign, failed to win the state for the
president.
The PDP presidential candidate
scored 473,971 to defeat Buhari who had 150,710 votes.
