A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Princewill Dike, has defended the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, over viral audio tapes of him criticizing President Muhammadu Buhari. According to Dailypost, Dike made his position known in a statement issued to newsmen on Tuesday in Port Harcourt.
While describing the audio tape as doctored, he explained that beneficiaries of Jonathan's administration were yet to forgive the Minister who is considered as the arrowhead of their woeful electoral outing. He added that the Minister of Transportation was a loyal party man and would not do anything to derail the Buhari administration.
“Amaechi is one of the few ministers who have unrestrained access to the president and his ears. You can see that he has no reason to run down his beloved boss behind the scene.
“Amaechi is a man of iron cast integrity and thus double standard is not in his gene, a man of rare courage, what he can’t say before you, he won’t say it behind you.
“The enemies have failed woefully with their doctored voice of Amaechi. If you believe that cloned voice, you will as well believe their propaganda that Jubril is a cloned Buhari.”
