00:27to be on the streets, protesting the apparent hunger in the land and not voting following

00:32the leadership problems the government of President Bola Ametinugu seems to have caused

00:37in the country.

00:38Amechi said he could no longer afford the cost of diesel and wondered how other people

00:43who may not be that privileged like him are surviving the economic situation in the country.

00:50According to Amechi, Siminanaye Fubara was accountant to Nyesomweke when he was chairman

00:56of OBU, a poor local government area in Rivers and when him, Amechi became governor, Wike

01:02brought Fubara to state-level functionality.

01:05Some close watchers have stated that what Fubara is experiencing with Wike has been

01:10the daily struggle of Rotimi Amechi with Sem Wike at the reign of good luck availing Jonathan's

01:16presidency.

01:17Some of the observers added that the actions of Wike didn't start newly and the behaviours

01:23need to be termed before it gets out of hand.

01:26Former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amechi expressed his frustration over Nigeria's lack

01:32of response to the country's economic hardships.

01:35He criticised citizens for not protesting against rising living costs, noting that he

01:41personally can't afford diesel anymore due to its high price.

01:45Amechi emphasised that people should be angry and take action against corruption and economic

01:51struggles.

01:52I can't afford to buy diesel now, Rotimi Amechi said, adding, there is the need for the general

01:59public to protest against politicians.

02:02In the interview with ABN TV, the former Rivers state governor questioned why Nigerians are

02:08not more vocal in their outrage, pointing to rising costs and the inability of many

02:13to afford basic necessities such as fuel.

02:17I'm angry with the citizens, people should be angry, there should be protests, we will

02:23not vote, there will be no election in our state because of the current rate of hunger.

02:29If people like us can't afford diesel, you can imagine how others are coping, said Amechi.

02:36Amechi had contested in the primaries of the All Progressive Congress, APC, to grab the

02:42party ticket for the 2023 presidential election and lost it to President Bola Tegubu.
