The All Progressives Congress (APC) has berated a former Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, for allegedly \u201cinciting anarchy\u201d over the current economic situation in Nigeria.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The party in a statement signed by its national publicity secretary, Felix Morka, said that Amaechi slammed youth for not protesting the \u201chigh cost of living\u201d in the country.<\/p>\n

According to Morka, the comments by the former Rivers State governor are \u201cinsensitive, god-awful and unpatriotic\u201d<\/p>\n

He accused Amaechi of being a parasitic dependent on state resources, a voracious beneficiary of official patronage, and a leading participant in the generational devastation of our country\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n

He added that the former minister\u2019s incitement to violence is hypocritical, provocative and dangerous.<\/p>\n

The statement reads, \u201cFrom the lavish comfort of his \u201cproverbial glass house\u201d, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi, former Minister of Transport and Governor of Rivers state, in a recent interview, berated Nigerian youth for not protesting \u201chigh cost of living\u201d in the country to his morbid satisfaction.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmaechi\u2019s comments are insensitive, god-awful and unpatriotic, coming from one of Nigeria\u2019s longest serving and highest ranking political freeloaders \u2013 a two-term Speaker of the Rivers state House of Assembly, a two-term Governor, and a two-term Minister of Transport.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor almost all of his adult life, Amaechi has been a leech dependant on state resources, a voracious beneficiary of official patronage, and a leading participant in the generational devastation of our country\u2019s economy. Attempting to hoodwink Nigerians into his web of false empathy and incitement to violence is hypocritical, provocative and dangerous.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf those in power \u201csteal money\u201d as Amaechi mischievously alleged, how come he can\u2019t afford \u201cto buy diesel\u201d barely two years after \u201cstealing\u201d for over 24 years in power as Speaker, Governor and Minister?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only real anger that Amaechi and his fellow tribesmen of naysayers of the likes of Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, must feel is that they are not in the saddle of government today. But that was a decision made by Nigeria\u2019s ultimate political authority \u2013 the electorate.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigerians are highly perceptive, discerning, demure, and mindful that economic discomforts associated with the administration\u2019s inevitable reforms are transient and will pale into insignificance in comparison to the enduring transformative dividends which are already beginning to manifest. Nigerians will not be cajoled into taking back through street violence what they handed to the administration through the ballot, as Amaechi and his partisan tribesmen would wish.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is nauseating to think that these naysayer tribesmen who did nothing to improve the economy or living conditions for Nigerians while they were in office, now pontificate, endlessly, about what and how things should be done but didn\u2019t and couldn\u2019t do while in power.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s as though they only regain their senses and discover their talents for governance when they are out of power. A tribe of naysayers is what they are, who never see any good, only gloom, filled with bile and disdain for the determined strides of the APC-administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to transform our country\u2019s economy for the benefit of present and future generations of Nigerians.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne would expect Amaechi to keep busy trying to solve the crippling crisis in Rivers state that he once governed. Instead, he has chosen to stoke anarchy on a national scale. Weaponizing protest and exploiting citizens\u2019 economic discomfort for selfish political objectives, as these partisan tribesmen are doing, is irresponsible and decidedly unpatriotic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge Nigerians to dismiss the call to anarchy by Amaechi and his partisan tribesmen and to remain patient and continue to support President Tinubu\u2019s bold effort to transform our country\u2019s economy once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
