Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Babachir Lawal says former Rivers State governor and ex-Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi is “another version” of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. Lawal made the remarks in an interview with Symfoni TV released on Saturday, in response to questions about whether Amaechi has emerged as the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and how Amaechi compares with other political figures, including Peter Obi, President Bola Tinubu, and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. Lawal links his assessment of Amaechi’s political direction to what he describes as “personal excessive ambition,” adding that Amaechi appeared to “pair with the devil.” While Lawal offers criticism of Amaechi’s leadership style and political choices, he also says he has no personal hostility toward him. He maintains that his overall personal view of Amaechi as a human being is positive, even while expressing uncertainty about Amaechi’s effectiveness as a leader. The interview frames his comparison as a political judgment rather than an attack on character.

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, has described former Rivers State Governor and ex-Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, as “another version” of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. Lawal made the remark during an interview with Symfoni TV released on Saturday while responding to a question on whether Amaechi had emerged as the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, and how he compares with other political figures, including Peter Obi, President Bola Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. According to Lawal, Amaechi’s political choices have been driven by what he described as “personal excessive ambition.” “Well, it’s just unfortunate that because of his, maybe personal excessive ambition, he desired to pair with the devil. But I have nothing against him. “Overall, my assessment of him as a human being, as a person, is positive. But as a leader, I don’t know because he is brash. He is something like that. “He’s another version of Wike, almost polished, but better than Wike,” Lawal said. The former SGF, however, maintained that despite his criticism of Amaechi’s political decisions, he still holds a positive personal opinion of the former Rivers governor.
