The Director General of the Buhari Campaign Organisation and Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi has reacted to audio tapes in which he allegedly insulted President Muhammadu Buhari.
Former Special Assistant to President Jonathan on New Media, Reno Omokri, released the two audio tapes on January 4 and 6 respectively, and has vowed to release another one today, January 7.

Yesterday, I set up the @NGRPresident. I knew if I released the full #AmaechiTapes, they’d say it was fake. Now that @ToluOgunlesi admitted it is actually Amaechi, but from 2014, here is the rest of Part 1 proving that @AsoRock lied. Part 2 is coming shortly. LISTEN and SHARE pic.twitter.com/e3WiSyPIdX

However, in a reaction through his media aide, Israel Ibeleme, Amaechi described the tapes as “doctored” and a calculated attempt to tarnish Amaechi’s image.
The statement read, “Attention has been drawn to the purported fake audio which was doctored from an unknown journalist, recorded outside the minister’s office imitating the Minister’s speech sound. Which claimed that the Minister was speaking against the President and the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“It is Important to let the general public know that we have worked with the Minister since February 2015 till date and that the minister has not in any way spoken against the president Muhammadu Buhari’s achievements.
“The fake doctored audio, claiming that it emanated from the conversation which the minister had with his press corp.
“They paid some group of boys to destroy the image of Director General of Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organization, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
“We want to put the public on the know, that the said doctored audio report is false.”
