Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has disclosed that he and ex-Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, started the opposition coalition.
Amaechi said he and Fayemi decided to expand the opposition
coalition to accommodate more people.
The former governor of Rivers State made this public during
a chat on an X space titled: “Weekend Politics” on Friday.
The coalition currently has eminent Nigerians like former
Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai;
former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal.
Others include Boss Mustapha, former Senate President, David
Mark, former Interior Minister, Rauf Aregbesola, former Sports Minister, Bolaji
Abdullahi, among others.
The coalition recently adopted the African Democratic
Congress, ADC, in its move to unseat President Bola Tinubu.
However, Amaechi said: “Fayemi and I began the coalition
discussion, and we subsequently agreed to broaden it so that it would involve
more than just the two of us talking about starting a new party.
“We must create a middle class, and put money in the pockets
of Nigerians; insecurity will reduce.”
He also disclosed that he became the Speaker of Rivers State
at the age of 32 years.
According to Amaechi, he served in that capacity for eight
years without being impeached.
“I was the first Speaker at the age of 32 years and led the
Rivers State Assembly for 8 years without being impeached,” he added.
