Amaechi just another version of Wike – Babachir Lawal

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, has described former Rivers State Governor and ex-Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, as “another version” of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

Lawal made the remark during an interview with Symfoni TV released on Saturday while responding to a question on whether Amaechi had emerged as the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, and how he compares with other political figures, including Peter Obi, President Bola Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

According to Lawal, Amaechi’s political choices have been driven by what he described as “personal excessive ambition.”

“Well, it’s just unfortunate that because of his, maybe personal excessive ambition, he desired to pair with the devil. But I have nothing against him.

“Overall, my assessment of him as a human being, as a person, is positive. But as a leader, I don’t know because he is brash. He is something like that.

“He’s another version of Wike, almost polished, but better than Wike,” Lawal said.

The former SGF, however, maintained that despite his criticism of Amaechi’s political decisions, he still holds a positive personal opinion of the former Rivers governor.
