Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has thrown a jab at President Bola Tinubu over his claims of being behind the emergence of late Muhammadu Buhari as President of Nigeria.
Speaking during an an X space, Amaechi said God made Buhari President.
He challenged those with a contrary view to disclose how much they contributed in making Buhari President.
Buhari ruled Nigeria as a civilian President from 2015 to 2023. Prior to 2015, Buhari contested severally for the presidency but failed.
There are claims that Tinubu’s influence contributed a lot in ensuring that Buhari became President in 2015.
During his campaign in Ogun State in 2022, Tinubu had said he supported Buhari to become President, hence 2023 was his turn – “Emi Lokan”.
Amaechi said: “God and the Nigerian people chose Buhari as President over any other candidate.
“If somebody claims that Buhari became President because of them, they should explain how much they contributed and what else they did.”
