Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has challenged claims by President Bola Tinubu that he single-handedly made late former President Muhammadu Buhari win the 2015 presidential election.

Amaechi said Buhari’s emergence as president was the product of collective political efforts within the All Progressives Congress (APC), insisting that he personally played a major role in mobilising support across the country.

Recall that during his 2023 campaign, Tinubu had claimed that he was instrumental in Buhari’s victory in 2015, declaring that it was his turn.
