Former Governor of Rivers State and Nigerian Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amechi
00:05
has stated that the state is a big capital of betrayals by politicians.
00:10
In reaction to the political differences between the immediate past governor of the state and
00:14
the current Minister of Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesomweke and the Rivers State Governor,
00:20
Fubarase Vinalai, Rotimi Amechi in a news interview on Wednesday also called on Nigerians
00:27
to be on the streets, protesting the apparent hunger in the land and not voting following
00:32
the leadership problems the government of President Bola Ametinugu seems to have caused
00:37
in the country.
00:38
Amechi said he could no longer afford the cost of diesel and wondered how other people
00:43
who may not be that privileged like him are surviving the economic situation in the country.
00:50
According to Amechi, Siminanaye Fubara was accountant to Nyesomweke when he was chairman
00:56
of OBU, a poor local government area in Rivers and when him, Amechi became governor, Wike
01:02
brought Fubara to state-level functionality.
01:05
Some close watchers have stated that what Fubara is experiencing with Wike has been
01:10
the daily struggle of Rotimi Amechi with Sem Wike at the reign of good luck availing Jonathan's
01:16
presidency.
01:17
Some of the observers added that the actions of Wike didn't start newly and the behaviours
01:23
need to be termed before it gets out of hand.
01:26
Former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amechi expressed his frustration over Nigeria's lack
01:32
of response to the country's economic hardships.
01:35
He criticised citizens for not protesting against rising living costs, noting that he
01:41
personally can't afford diesel anymore due to its high price.
01:45
Amechi emphasised that people should be angry and take action against corruption and economic
01:51
struggles.
01:52
I can't afford to buy diesel now, Rotimi Amechi said, adding, there is the need for the general
01:59
public to protest against politicians.
02:02
In the interview with ABN TV, the former Rivers state governor questioned why Nigerians are
02:08
not more vocal in their outrage, pointing to rising costs and the inability of many
02:13
to afford basic necessities such as fuel.
02:17
I'm angry with the citizens, people should be angry, there should be protests, we will
02:23
not vote, there will be no election in our state because of the current rate of hunger.
02:29
If people like us can't afford diesel, you can imagine how others are coping, said Amechi.
02:36
Amechi had contested in the primaries of the All Progressive Congress, APC, to grab the
02:42
party ticket for the 2023 presidential election and lost it to President Bola Tegubu.
