Nigeria Reacts To Audio of Amaechi 'Criticizing' Buhari

The Presidency says leaked audio of Minister of Transport Rotimi Amaechi purportedly criticising President Muhammadu Buhari occurred in 2014 and that the minister was referring to Goodluck Jonathan the then president. In the recording which has gone viral, Amaechi apparently claimed Buhari does not read newspapers or listen to news on the economic situation in the country. Amaechi was alleged to have said: "This country can never change, I swear. The only way this country can change is in a situation where everybody is killed."

Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.
