| Goodluck and Amaechi |
Ibim Semenitari, the acting managing
director of the Niger Delta Development Company has revealed why Minister of
Transport, Rotimi Amaechi worked against former president Goodluck Jonathan in
the 2015 general election.
Speaking in an interview with The
Interview magazine and monitored by Premium Times, Semenitari said Amaechi
turned his back against Jonathan to “save Nigeria from the brink.” She said:
“Amaechi believed that Muhammadu Buhari had all it took to change the
trajectory and envisioned that Nigeria was heading in a different direction.
“For him (Amaechi) having Buhari there was great for the integrity of the
country and also to pull back the country from the brink.”
Semenitari, the acting managing
director in NDDC said Amaechi turned his back against Jonathan to “save Nigeria
from the brink.” Semenitari, the acting managing director in NDDC said Amaechi

Responding to a question about whether her own
position and the double ministry assigned to Amaechi by Buhari were rewards for
Amaechi’s electoral contribution, Semenitari said: “Amaechi had no thought of any
personal reward for doing what he did.” Amaechi, former member of the Peoples
Democratic Party and chairman of the Governor’s Forum, was one of the governors
who broke away from the former ruling party, leading a charge that proved fatal
to Jonathan and the PDP’s electoral fortune in 2015.
