The All Progressives Congress, APC, has slammed a former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi following his recent interview.
During the interview, the former minister had hit hard on
the current administration, wondering why Nigerian youths have refused to take
the streets in protest over high cost of living and against those he called
politicians stealing their money.
Amaechi had said that he was angry with the way Nigerians
are responding to the current economic challenges.
He said he expected youths to storm different streets and
protest against high cost of living but he has not seen anything that shows
that the youth are serious.
Amaechi also said he could no longer afford to fuel his
diesel generators due to the high cost of petroleum products.
In response on Friday, a statement signed by Felix Morka,
its National Publicity Secretary, APC wondered why the former Governor could no
longer buy diesel after 24 years at different level of political positions.
“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?
“The 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’s ultimate
political authority – the electorate. Nigerians are highly perceptive,
discerning, demure, and mindful that economic discomforts associated with the
administration’s 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.
“It is nauseating to think that these naysayer tribesmen who
did absolutely 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’t and couldn’t do while in power.”
