But Amaechi, who spoke during a live TV programme in Lagos said that as the Minister of Transport, he ought to know when Dakuku was to be removed or not by the President.
Amaechi said he spoke to Dakuku Wednesday evening when he was having a board meeting.“But if it is a sack as you said, if am still the Minister of Transport, I am the one who will inform him of his removal,” he stated.
