I’m disappointed that Nigerians are not protesting hardship –  Rotimi Amaechi

Former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi has expressed shock at how Nigerians move around as if there is no hardship in the country.

 

Amaechi, a former governor of Rivers State, said he is angry at the attitude of Nigerians to the economic hardship in the country.

 

 

Amaechi made this known in an interview with Igbere TV.

 

The former governor said he expected youths to storm different streets and protest against the high cost of living but he has not seen anything that shows that they are serious.

 

“People should be angry because you cannot see a group of people stealing your money without doing anything. I am really angry with the citizens because they are not doing anything.

 

“Look at what happened in Edo State, should any politician be campaigning in Edo State? See, some of us cannot afford to buy diesel again because it’s costly,” he said.

 

Amaechi served as the Minister of Transportation for nearly eight years during the immediate past administration of Muhammadu Buhari.
