A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Prince Tony Momoh, on Thursday said the ruling party won’t judge the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi over leaked audio of him criticizing President Muhammadu Buhari.
Recall that a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri had released an audio recording of Amaechi, referring to Buhari as an ignoramus who neither takes advice nor reads to acquire information.
Reacting, Momoh, a former Minister of Transportation explained that Amaechi won’t be judged because the intention of those behind the leaked audio was to undermine the presidential campaign of the APC.
Speaking in an interview with Daily Independent, Momoh mocked those behind the leaked audio to find something better to do with their time.
He said: “There are three ways people express themselves; in their thoughts, words and in their deeds. Many people say thoughts are free.
“That is a lie because your own thoughts are recorded in creation and you bear responsibility for them. But unfortunately, human beings cannot read the thoughts of people.
“So, if you know what people think of you, they may even be wishing you dead while they are laughing. So, people bear responsibility for whatever they do. On earth, it is what we see you do and we monitor that we use in binding you.
“No matter what they say, Amaechi has been damn effective and we have no reason to be unhappy with him. He is a fighter. So, if people just want to use thinking aloud which he is entitled to, to undo him, then they are using wrong means because it cannot affect Amaechi’s output.
“Let people look for more credible ways of undermining the APC campaign. The campaign has taken off and as you can see, it is a movement that is looking at the issue of what APC has done in the last three years in attending to the human condition in Nigeria which PDP didn’t do for 16 years.”
