Former Minister of Transportation Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi has said that Nigeria is completely destroyed under President Bola Tinubu.
He recently revealed that the country is in need of total change, and Nigerians have been reacting.
Speaking in an interview after the unveiling of the interim executive of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in Abuja, Amaechi shared that things have become so bad that Nigerians can’t afford to eat because there is no money to buy food.
According to him, the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, are presently planning to hijack the forthcoming elections in the country, and Nigerians cannot allow that to happen.
Rotimi stated that he resigned from the APC on Tuesday night, and he is even shocked that he was not expelled from the party after he warned them not to send invitation to him for meetings.
“No, it’s not about changing the government, if it is about changing the government, there is no need of changing the government, it’s about changing Nigeria.
Nigeria is completely destroyed. People can’t eat. People can’t buy food. There’s no money to buy food. Everything is gone. Inflation is at its peak. And the federal government is busy going around trying to hijack the election. INEC is helping them to hijack the election.
No, no, no. What must happen here is that we must start not just a party, but a movement, it must be a movement that brings in Nigerians to on their own take over government, not us,” he said.
Amaechi further noted that he never believed that Tinubu had what it takes to be a good president, stressing that BAT has failed the people with his inconsiderate policies that have made their lives worse.
Rotimi concluded by saying that he was shocked to hear President Tinubu say that he is not in office to make Nigerians happy.
“I left APC last night. I never attended one meeting, last time they invited me I warned them. I said, if you invite me to any meeting anymore… In fact, I was surprised that I wasn’t even expelled because I warned them in writing, don’t even invite me to any meeting. You can’t be in a club where majority of people are stealing and you don’t say anything.
I have never believed that Tinubu is a material to govern the country, I have never, because now, people want (Muhammadu) Buhari to come back. What happens in Nigeria is that when a new government takes over, it becomes worse than the previous government that makes people say let the previous government come back.
People are asking for Buhari because things were better during Buhari’s administration. Dollar was I think ₦460 or five hundred and something now a dollar is one thousand five hundred and eighty, that is more than one hundred percent.
Whether it’s a deliberate government policy or not, any government that does not take into consideration the people you are governing is not a policy. President Tinubu said he is not here to make Nigerians happy,” he added.
