Buhari’s govt far better than Tinubu’s own— Amaechi

• He stated that, though Buhari did not achieve everything he set out to do, Nigeria was in a far better place under him than it is now

Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has said the government of former President Muhammadu Buhari is better than the current administration of President Bola Tinubu.

He stated that, though Buhari did not achieve everything he set out to do, Nigeria was in a far better place under him than it is now.

“Not everything was achieved. Buhari will tell you that he did not achieve all that he planned for. But then, he was better than the current government by all standards,” he said.

Speaking on Thursday during an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television, the former Rivers State Governor said Buhari did better than Tinubu in security and institutional independence areas

“In terms of security, Buhari focused on it. In transportation, I’m open to a new challenge. Again, the independence of INEC was higher in Buhari’s government than now.

“Now, they can’t even register a party because government officials are telling them not to. Those who applied to INEC for registration — their rents have expired,” he said.

He stated that his criticism of President Tinubu was not personal, stressing that he would have been the first to sing the President’s praises if the administration was performing well.
