The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has described the running mate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi as a liar.
Amaechi, who is the Director General of the President Muhammadu Buhari campaign, said Obi twisted facts and figures during the Town Hall meeting aired live on Television, yesterday.
He spoke during the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential campaign rally in Kano State.
Amaechi said the claims by Obi that former President Goodluck Jonathan paid contractors handling some railway projects were false.
According to the former Rivers State governor, the Lagos-Ibadan rail project was a brain-child of the Buhari’s administration.
He said: “I have told my very good friend and former Governor, Peter Obi that its not correct what he said that Jonathan paid all the money for railways, if he paid why didn’t they the contractors finished the projects then.
“Its not correct that Obi said Jonathan paid for the Abuja-Kaduna project. The Lagos-Ibadan project is not at all correct, we started this project and if Obi wants I’m ready to open debate with him.
“As a former governor and running mate of a presidential candidate, Obi should have come to me and I will present the records to him to see.”
The Minister also declared that states like Bauchi, Katsina, Kano States will massively vote for Buhari in the forthcoming election.
“Whether they like it or not, states like Bauchi, Katsina, Kano, will vote for Buhari. We will get 5m votes from these states,” he added.
