Former Minister of Transportation Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi on Wednesday said that Nigeria is completely destroyed and required a complete change.
Amaechi accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of colluding to hijack the forthcoming elections in the country.
Speaking in an interview after the unveiling of the interim executive of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), in Abuja; the former River State governor said that things have become so bad that Nigerians can’t afford to eat because there is no money to buy food, adding that inflation is at its peak.
Amaechi, who said that he resigned from the APC on Tuesday night, expressed surprised that he was not expelled from the party after he warned them not to send invitation to him for meetings.
When asked why he decided not to join and support the government, instead he is clamouring to change the government, he said: “No, it’s not about changing the government, if it is about changing the government, there is no need of changing the government, it’s about changing Nigeria.
“Nigeria is completely destroyed. People can’t eat. People can’t buy food. There’s no money to buy food. Everything is gone. Inflation is at its peak. And the federal government is busy going around trying to hijack the election. INEC is helping them to hijack the election.
“No, no, no. What must happen here is that we must start not just a party, but a movement, it must be a movement that brings in Nigerians to on their own take over government, not us.”
The former minister said: “I left APC last night. I never attended one meeting, last time they invited me I warned them. I said, if you invite me to any meeting anymore… In fact, I was surprised that I wasn’t even expelled because I warned them in writing, don’t even invite me to any meeting. You can’t be in a club where majority of people are stealing and you don’t say anything.”
