Former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi has disclosed that he is facing economic hardship like most Nigerians, saying he can no longer afford to purchase diesel.
He made this known in an interview with Igbere TV, while expressing his anger at the way Nigerians are responding to the current economic challenges.
The former governor of Rivers State also said he expected youths to troop to the streets to protest against the high cost of living in the country, adding that he is yet to see anything that shows that they are serious.

Speaking during the chat, Amaechi said,
“People should be angry because you cannot see a group of people stealing your money without doing anything. 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? See, some of us cannot afford to buy diesel again because it’s costly.”
Rotimi Amaechi served as the Minister of Transportation for nearly eight years during the immediate past administration of Muhammadu Buhari.
