Reactions to old video of Tinubu praising Amaechi

@shehu_mahdi

That was then, even then it was not a true reflection of the heart. What the heart concealed then, is manifesting now....Amaechi, an enemy

@kabirusaje

Tinubu’s praise for Amaechi’s service as governor and minister shows his bold, unifying leadership.

@LennyCliff01

One thing I love about life is you can never hide the truth. See PBAT showering praises on Amaechi praising his courage and dedication to his people. These traits never disappear they only appreciate with time.

@noblecryp24

Now let's look at it from this perspective, Asiwaju went to Rivers to support Ameachi , you dont expect to speak bad of him anyways, he stood by him but when it was Asiwaju's turn, he didn't support but backstabbed him, castigated him but baba is far ahead.
