Amaechi who is the director general of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation (APCPCO), said Peter Obi lied about infrastructure and transportation, while fielding questions from Kadaria Ahmed on the presidential town hall-style debate.
He made this known while speaking at Kano state on Friday. He said;
“I need to address some important issues, I’m addressing Nigerians, not just Kano indigenes; I speak today as a Catholic Christian. I speak with responsibility as a former governor of Rivers state, and former chairman of the governors’ forum.
“I have told my friend and my former deputy, his excellency Peter Obi, that the moment you climb the post of governor, you must deal with facts and figures, you must not lie to the people lead.
Amaechi said Peter Obi lied by saying Goodluck Jonathan had released money for all the rail projects completed by the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
