The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that the immediate past Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has been a leechy dependant on state resources almost all of his adult life.
It said attempting to hoodwink Nigerians into his web of false empathy and incitement to violence is hypocritical, provocative and dangerous.
Amaechi incurred the wrath of his party when he blamed the youth in a recent interview for not protesting against hardship in the country.
However, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Felix Morka, in a statement issued Friday said Ameachi’s statement was a call to anarchy.
The ruling party urged Nigerians to dismiss the call to anarchy by Amaechi and his partisan tribesmen and to remain patient and continue to support President Bola Tinubu’s bold effort to transform our country’s economy once and for all.
He said: “Amaechi’s comments are insensitive, god-awful and unpatriotic, coming from one of Nigeria’s longest serving and highest ranking political freeloaders – a two-term Speaker of the Rivers state House of Assembly, a two-term Governor, and a two-term Minister of Transport.
“For almost all of his adult life, Amaechi has been a leechy dependant on state resources, a voracious beneficiary of official patronage, and a leading participant in the generational devastation of our country’s economy. Attempting to hoodwink Nigerians into his web of false empathy and incitement to violence is hypocritical, provocative and dangerous.
“If those in power “steal money” as Amaechi mischievously alleged, how come he can’t afford “to buy diesel” barely two years after “stealing” for over 24 years in power as Speaker, Governor and Minister?”
