Erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New People’s Democratic Party (nPDP), an ally of Chibuike Amaechi, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has condemned what he described as unsavory reactions that have greeted the former Transportation Minister’s advice to Nigerians over the hardship in the country.
DAILY POST reports that Amaechi had in a recent interview said he is angry with the way Nigerians are responding to the current economic challenges.
Amaechi said he expected youths to storm different streets and protest against high cost of living. According to him, he has not seen anything that shows that the youths are serious.
“People should be angry because you cannot see group of people stealing your money without doing anything,” Amaechi said.
“I am really angry with the citizens because they are not doing anything.
“Look at what happened in Edo State, should any politician be campaigning in Edo State?”
In their separate reactions, Omoyele Sowore, Bello Matawalle, Bayo Onanuga, Senator Shehu Sani and the APC through Felix Morka, all descended on Amaechi.
Eze, who often speaks for Amaechi, wondered where the former Transportation Minister erred to warrant the reactions he got from the politicians.
Eze said if Amaechi was wrong in expressing his frustration on the shambolic state of the nation, why then is Sowore and his group rooting for a revolution.
“Certainly, to every right thinking Nigerian, Amaechi has not committed any blunder in his statement,” he said.
“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.”
