knew he would have been in trouble if the All Progressives Congress,
APC, had not won the presidential election.
Speaking in Lagos during the public presentation of a book titled “Dynamics of Change: The Amaechi Years”, which is a compilation of his achievements a governor.
He said “I knew I was going to be in trouble. I was ready to
sacrifice whatever will make that change to take place. The federal
government sent out a signal that if they won, nobody should let me out
of Nigeria from any airport.
“One day, Asiwaju got angry with me. He was very angry. I went to
his house with Mallam Nasir El-Rufai and knelt down, saying ‘please
let’s not disagree, let’s win first and then we can disagree.
“I told Asiwaju that what is important is to make a history of
the first civilian coup in Nigeria when your children and grandchildren
read the history with your name as one of the people who helped bring
about change in Nigeria.
“I said: let us focus on the victory. I remember the day of the
convention, there were so many intrigues, there will be convention,
there won’t be convention. I said my leader, if we don’t do the
convention we are finished, the press will say APC cannot hold a
convention, lead us now, there must be convention and election. So, he
turned to me and said look for Tunde (Fashola), let us go,” Amaechi concluded.
