I can’t afford diesel again – Amaechi laments

Chibuike Amaechi, the former Minister of Transportation, expressed his frustration with the response of Nigerians to the current economic hardships.

In an interview with Igbere TV, Amaechi said he is disappointed by the lack of action from the youths in protesting against the high cost of living.

“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,” he said.

Despite serving as Minister of Transportation for nearly eight years under the previous administration of Muhammadu Buhari, Amaechi expected to see more public outcry and activism from the citizens.
