Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has disclosed that he once told President Bola Tinubu that he will never work with him.
Amaechi said he decided never to work or vote for Tinubu because the President lacked the capacity to govern Nigeria.
He disclosed this during an event to mark his 60th birthday in Abuja on Saturday.
Amaechi said: “I told Tinubu in Yola, I will not support you; I will not work for you. I did not work for him; I did not vote for him. It was the issue of capacity.
“Some of us who are here are also those who vote on an ethnic or religious basis. Innocent, uneducated people are manipulated to vote based on ethnicity and religion — that’s why we are here.
“When we leave here, we go to plot to go and grab power; no Nigerian leader cares for you.
“You that voted Muslim/Muslim ticket, let the Muslim market come out now. For us in opposition, if you want us to remove this man, we can remove this man from power.
“We want to submit to the opposition if the opposition will take us out of this problem.
“They are weaponising poverty by stealing the money they should have used to build hospitals and schools.
“The benefit of the fuel subsidy removal is in their pockets.”
