Omokri Blasts Buhari For Appointing Amaechi His Campaign DG

Reno Omokri, former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has alleged that Rotimi Amaechi, Minister of Transportation may use his position to fund President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election.

He said this while reacting to the appointment of the former Rivers State Governor as the Director General, DG, of Buhari’s re-election campaign.

Confirmation of Amaechi as campaign DG came to the fore in a statement issued on Tuesday by the Secretary of the campaign organisation, Mohammed Dattijo. He equally announced the appointment of Mr. Festus Keyamo, SAN, as the official spokesman of the Buhari Campaign Organisation.

However, Omokri wondered why Amaechi has not resigned as a Minister, following his appointment as campaign DG.

In a tweet, on Tuesday, the former presidential aide maintained that combining the two portfolios would amount to conflict of interest for Amaechi.

The tweet reads, “How can @ChibuikeAmaechi be DG of the @MBuhari Reelection campaign as @MobilePunch reports and still retain his portfolio as minister of transport?

“Is that not a conflict of interest? Would it not present opportunity for Amaechi to use ministry funds for Buhari’s reelection?”
