Amaechi to Nigerians: “I’m tired of this government. If a rich man is spending N4 million on electricity, only God knows how you — the masses — are surviving.”
One of the frontline leaders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has blamed the administration of President Bola Tinubu for the worsening hardship faced by Nigerians.
Amaechi, who has declared his presidential aspiration, also vowed to end Tinubu’s second term ambition in the 2027 general elections.
Speaking to a large crowd of supporters who gathered at the Port Harcourt International Airport to welcome him home on Wednesday, Amaechi expressed deep dissatisfaction with the Tinubu-led administration, blaming it for mismanaging Nigeria.
“I’m tired of this government. If a rich man is spending N4 million on electricity, only God knows how you — the masses — are surviving,” he said.
Amaechi urged Rivers residents to register with the ADC, his new political party, to help prevent electoral malpractice and reclaim political power in the state.
“I am hungry. And the president said he doesn’t care. The president said he is not here to make you happy. But ADC is here to make you happy,” he said.
Amaechi, who is in the state which he governed for eight years to galvanise support for the ADC ahead the crucial 2027 elections, further said: “Rivers State is notorious for writing results. When they write results, they claim they have won. I will not work with you if you will not march with those result merchants to announce results. Do you hear me? God will bless all of us. Let us go to town.”
