Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has been attacked by Lere Olayinka, the Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
The backlash follows Amaechi’s recent remarks suggesting he could defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, claiming he knows the president’s weaknesses.
Reacting via his X (formerly Twitter) account, Olayinka took a swipe at the former minister, questioning his political relevance.
He wrote; “Hungry man Amaechi was a sitting governor in 2015, when Wike defeated him.”
“Hungry man Amaechi was a minister in 2019, when Wike defeated him.”
“Hungry man Amaechi just left office as a minister in 2023, when Wike defeated him.”
“The same hungry man Amaechi is boasting that he knows how to defeat Tinubu, a sitting president.”
“I know Tinubu’s weaknesses, will defeat him if ADC gives me ticket – Amaechi.”
“Me: Just the way he defeated Tinubu in the APC primary of 2022 nah. Alawada.com.”
