Real Reason I Stopped Commenting On National Issues — Amaechi Blows Hot

A former minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has explained why he stopped commenting on critical national issues.
Speaking during a lecture organised by The Niche on Thursday, Mr Amaechi said he chose to remain quiet because Nigerians don’t bother about anything.

“Why did I decline? Two reasons. My publicist says don’t speak. And I chose to obey my publicist. He is very angry that I’m speaking today.

“What is new to say? Nigerians don’t react to anything. Has any politician told you he is not a thief?

“Which politician told you he went to university, which politician told you she served in NYSC, and which politician told you he has his certificate? Nigerians know and still vote for them. So what is your problem?

“Nigerians choose who to believe and who not to believe. Nigerians choose who to vote for and who not to vote for. If you come to a Nigerian man’s house and kill the mother, the father will continue his life.

“Nothing bothers you. Why do I waste my time? I chose not to speak again because Nigerians will do absolutely nothing,” he said.

He also said he would not comment on the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

“I will also say nothing about President Tinubu’s government because you know the problem. Instead of Nigerians to solutions to their problems, they are committing suicide,” Mr Amaechi said.

The former minister noted that situations that elicit citizens’ reactions in other countries have little impact in Nigeria.

“What other people resist in Ghana and Kenya, Nigerians say no worry no be four years, him go go. The man wins the second term by crook or magic, they’ll say no be eight years. No be Goodluck and Buhari don go so? Him go soon go.

“Another person will come and repeat the same thing. You will be saying that until the day God will come for those of us who are Christians. So I’ve chosen to be like you; say nothing, hear nothing and do nothing,” he added.
