Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has revealed that he informed President Bola Tinubu before the election that he would neither support nor vote for him.
Speaking at a recent event, Amaechi said, “Let me make it clear to those of you staying here. I met President Tinubu in Yola and I told him I will not work you and I will not vote for you. I told him in advance.”
He emphasized that his decision was not hidden, adding, “Why I’m saying this is because people in Rivers State have been writing he didn’t work for APC, he didn’t support Tinubu. I told him in advance before the election, so it wasn’t a matter of whether I did or not. I made him know that because I was convinced that there was an issue of capacity.”
Amaechi criticized the political class and accused Nigerian elites of exploiting the masses. “It’s a conspiracy of the elites. You know, when we sit here, we look at what is the best way to go to grab power. We don’t care for you. No Nigerian leader cares for you.”
He lamented the apathy among Nigerians and described the society as “absolutely a do-nothing society.” According to him, “You protested. At the end of the protest, the president announced increase in price of fuel because you will do nothing.”
In his final remarks, Amaechi stated, “For Christ’s sake, it’s about moving the country forward. If you’re not ashamed, I’m ashamed.
