Erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP), Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has condemned the unsavoury reactions to the former Transportation Minister, Rotimi Amaechi’s submission on the hardship plaguing the country.
Naija News reports that Amaechi had expressed his disappointment over the response of Nigerians to the economic hardship in the country.
The politician said he expected youths to storm different streets and protest against the high cost of living.
However, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and some politicians such as Omoyele Sowore, Bello Matawalle condemned Amaechi’s statement, insisting that he was inciting the public.
Sharing his thoughts on the development, Eze wondered where the former Transportation Minister erred to warrant the reactions he got from the politicians.
He said, “Certainly, to every right thinking Nigerian, Amaechi has not committed any blunder in his statement.
“What is particularly difficult for Sowore, Morka, Mattawalle, Sani and Onanuga to comprehend in Amaechi’s sincere expression?
“Are Nigerians not suffering the effects of the clueless policies of the Tinubu administration?
“What signs are there that the administration is interested in listening to the cries and tackling the frustration of Nigerians?
“Was it not few days ago that the President Bola Tinubu led APC government increased fuel pump price to over One Thousand Naira while doing nothing to combat the attendant poverty, insecurity and deaths.
“It is unpatriotic and grossly wicked that in the face of the hydra headed challenges overwhelming Nigeria, APC, Sowore and the Tinubu government expect the likes of Amaechi to be stocked like pieces of furniture and watch the country slide into the abyss.
“As a matter of fact, Nigeria will collapse and remain irredeemably so, should patriotic Nigerians like Amaechi, keep mum over the spate of economic crisis that has encircled the Nigerian state as a result of the reckless indulgences of the clueless Tinubu regime.
“The barrage of baseless media invectives hurled at Amaechi by the Tinubu regime alongside APC, over his honest concerns on the state of the nation is condemnable and exposes the plot by the government to perpetuate poverty and deploy same as a veritable tool for 2027 and this stack reality calls for serious concern.
“One would have loved to hear the presidency tell Nigerians the policy thrust of the administration in driving the country out the current hardship, rather than the frivolous reactions that were put up as a defense to the woeful results the regime has continued to churn out since it’s inception.
“One need not remind the Tinubu administration that it was under Amaechi as Governor that Port Harcourt beat contesting cities of the western world to clinch the world book capital title.”
