In New Recording, Amaechi Depicts Lagos As ‘glorified Village’-Premium Times by Brizzy404: 8:45pm On Jan 07, 2019 |
PREMIUM TIMES has obtained the third in a series of leaked audio recordings by Rotimi Amaechi, Nigeria’s transport minister and the director general of President Mohammadu Buhari’s campaign team. Mr Amaechi has been in the eye of a storm in the last 48 hours following the release of two earlier audio recordings where he expressed gloomy views about Nigeria and the administration of Mr Buhari. In one of the recordings, which was shared with this newspaper by Phrank Shaibu, a spokesperson for the Atiku Abubakar campaign, the minister was heard saying the president has failed to meet the expectations of Nigerians and that there was widespread suffering in the land. Tolu Ogunlesi, a spokesperson of Mr Buhari, had dismissed the first leaked recording, saying Mr Amaechi was referring to immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan. But after the release of the second audio, Mr Ogunlesi claimed the audio had been cleverly edited by a former aide of Mr Jonathan, Reno Omokri, to paint the minister and the current government in bad light. However, on Monday evening, PREMIUM TIMES obtained another audio recording where the minister was heard badmouthing Lagos, the country’s commercial centre. He described the nation’s former capital as a “glorified village”. The minister said the city lacked basic infrastructure compared to Abuja, the country’s capital. He added that the city has poor road network, no running water, and is infamous for vehicular traffic congestion. “I live in Abuja, tell me where else we have infrastructure. Lagos is a glorified village. The only difference between Lagos and other cities is the fact that business is in Lagos, everybody is there doing business, so you can at least have food,” he said. “If not tell me what else you have in Lagos? 1,000 plus megawatts. That’s all. That’s what you have. What else do you have? No water, there are no roads. When you hear traffic jams in Lagos or any part of Nigeria, where are there no traffic jams in Abuja? The reason why you meet traffic jams in Lagos is because there are no roads,” the former governor of Rivers State added. Since 1999, when Nigeria returned to democratic rule, Lagos State has been exclusively governed by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) or parties, which formed the merger that birthed the APC. Mr Amaechi’s comment is even made more ironical given the announcement earlier today by Mr Buhari’s announcement that a former governor of Lagos is in charge of his re-election campaign. Bola Tinubu is commonly seen as the man who decides whatever happens in Lagos. Mr Tinubu is to supervise Mr Amaechi as he co-chairs the campaign organisation with Mr. Buhari. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/304629-in-new-recording-amaechi-depicts-lagos-as-glorified-village.html 32 Likes 2 Shares |

Brizzy404:@ bolded got me laughing!!! What this simply means is that APC has failed both at the center and state!!! Looking out for those who would come here to shout 16years of misrule in defence of APC Lagos has been under APC for 20years now!!! Amaechi has put the icing on the cake by calling the report card!!! I am happy because Amaechi is an ardent APC member! Let me see a naïve zombie here who knows more than Amaechi ![]() 162 Likes 17 Shares

Isoright Lagos have always been a shiiit hole Went there as a Bini boy last year. In fact it was the day that tanker explosion happened And i must tell you Lagos is overrated When i entered Abuja same last year November because i wanted an instant passport because there was no booklet in Edo state that was when i knew the difference between Abuja and Lagos It was even more obvious to me that Edo was actually bigger than Lagos. It took like forever to leave Edo land when you are going to Abuja. All those Edo north was like forever. So Lagos is just one small shiiit hole place that is overcrowded Abuja is too good to be compared with that shiiit hole called lagos 99 Likes 9 Shares |

Truth be told, Amaechi did not lie. Lagosians are under a sort of spell - suffering and smiling. The talisman Tinubu is using to manipulate Lagosians is very strong. A sitting governor was denied a second term because he didn't SHARE enough money. Alausa will spent 10b on a project, divert 25b to bourdillion, then use propaganda to brainwash everybody. Nigeria's only city to be proud of is Abuja. Lagos is a shithole - ranked second worst city to live in the world according to EIU. TINUBU and his cabal are a thorn in the flesh of Lagos and until these people are done away with, Lagos will remain what it is . 81 Likes 9 Shares |

This revelation is mind blowing. Someone that is now paid to disrupt public opinion will now come out to say the tape was doctored or hospitalized. I am dissapointed in everything APC. Even my APC friends are dissapointed in their party. No wonder Buhari does not respond to blood letting In his mind he will be like, continue killing yourselves so that we can reduce small. Chai.. All aspirants should combine forces with Atiku to send Buhari packing, if Atiku messes up he will get the same treatment in 2023. 87 Likes 6 Shares |

The way God is fighting for the masses, you'll think it's juju that is working on APC and it's members. First it was decamping of NASS members until the leadership of NASS became fully PDP ![]() Next it was Aisha buhari directly attacking her supposedly husband and accusing him of failure and being under captive and control of 2 powerful men. Next, it was the court of Justice barring the APC from contesting in Rivers and Zamfara states. As if that wasn't enough APC factions in both IMO and Ogun states are on for a head on collision ![]() To further spice up the moment, our ever garrulous Rotimi Amaechi decided to spill the beans and bare his mind off camera, repeating the same things sane Nigerians have been saying that Buhari has been a monumental failure that must be stopped at all cost from causing further damage to Nigeria. Is our God not a wonderful God ![]() Congratulations Nigerians Atikulation all the way ![]() 93 Likes 11 Shares |
