Why go after Amaechi? The believev in Bukola Saraki's camp is that
Amaechi distanced himself from the embattled senate president who's his
former colleague and others like Senator Danjuma Goje.
Saraki thought Amaechi, due to his closeness with President Buhari and
APC National Leader, Bola Tinubu, would help him beg both men to
stylishly stop his corruption trial at the CCT.
“Amaechi was told by associates in the Senate that Goje was not happy
with him [because] he had teamed up with the Buhari people against his
former colleagues in the Governors’ Forum,” a Presidency official
conversant with the issue said.
The source further revealed that on account of the information, Amaechi had to visit Goje to solicit his help on the passage of the budget proposals of the Ministry of Transportation.
A presidency official stated that the Calabar-Lagos railway project
alongside the Lagos – Kano rail project was included in the draft budget
of the Ministry submitted to the Budget Office.
The official challenged the House of Representatives and the Senate to produce the report of their respective submissions to the NASS if they insist that the project was not included in the budget.
