Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has spoken concerning getting re-appointed as minister in President Buhari’s second term in office.
Speaking on Channels Television, Amaechi made it clear that his re-appointnent would be at the discretion of the President.
“I am not the president; the president will decide those who will come back. So its between God and the president. I don’t know
“I am not in a position to access my performance. (I consider myself) a huge success. What are the promises the President made?
The former Minister also used the opportunity to speak on the Lagos-Ibadan railway project which he said will help decongest the gridlock experienced on Apapa expressway.
“My fear is that if we don’t continue from Ibadan to Kano, then we are leaving the problem at Ibadan.
“We have applied for a loan facility from China. Once we get that, we will continue with the construction from Ibadan to Kano. And once we do that, you will see that the goods will be dissipating.
“We transport nearly about 30 million tonnes of cargo per year from that Apapa to Kano. As we are transporting it, only 200 tonnes go by rail,” he said.
