In her memoir, Tinubu's aide chronicled her experience as the head of the agency under the supervision of Amaechi and how he ensured that he was removed as the chairman of the NPA.
Usman maintained that Amaechi wanted her to be removed by all means because of her personal grudges, adding that one of such was her refusal to lavish the former minister with favours, including birthday presents.
In his reaction to the allegation recently, the former governor of Rivers State said that Usman's memoir was full of falsehood and that he had been finding it difficult to reply.
Why Tinubu's aide was removed as NPA MD - Amaechi
Amaechi added that Usman's removal was endorsed by former President Buhari after she was found guilty by the investigating panel.
But in her response, Usman, who has now been appointed by President Tinubu, accused the former minister of telling lies to his audience.
She maintained that aside from “exaggerations, manipulation of the truth and outright lies” in Amaechi’s speech, there’s nothing she had not addressed in her book if the former minister had cared to read.
