Your Inciting Call Is Irresponsible, Unpatriotic – APC Knocks Amaechi

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday, October 11, took the immediate past Minister of Transport, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi to the cleaners for allegedly inciting youth to take to the streets and protest the current economic challenges being faced in the country.

The party described the former Rivers State governor’s outbursts as “irresponsible, unpatriotic, hypocritical, provocative and dangerous.”

Amaechi in a television interview recently berated Nigerian youth for not protesting the “high cost of living”.

The former minister who claimed during the interview that he can no longer afford diesel said, “I’m angry with the citizens. I have said it several times. You can see a group of people stealing your money, impoverishing you, you cannot buy fuel or anything.

“The people should be angry. There should be protests. Not even protests against anybody but against the politicians that we won’t vote”.

Reacting to the former minister, APC national publicity secretary, Felix Morka, in a statement in Abuja on Friday took a swipe at Amaechi, accusing him of being guilty of the allegations he levied against those in positions of authority.

According to the APC spokesman, “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 leech dependent 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.”

APC argued further that, “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.”

Morka then told the former Rivers State governor that 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 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.

“It’s as though they only regain their senses and discover their talents for governance when they are out of power. A tribe of naysayers is what they are, who never see any good, only gloom, filled with bile and disdain for the determined strides of the APC administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to transform our country’s economy for the benefit of present and future generations of Nigerians.

“One would expect Amaechi to keep busy trying to solve the crippling crisis in Rivers state that he once governed. Instead, he has chosen to stoke anarchy on a national scale. Weaponizing protest and exploiting citizen’s economic discomfort for selfish political objectives, as these partisan tribesmen are doing, is irresponsible and decidedly unpatriotic.”

The party then urged Nigerians to dismiss the call to anarchy by Amaechi and his partisan tribesmen and to remain patient and continue to support President Tinubu’s bold effort to transform our country’s economy once and for all.
