'Nigerians Aren't Prepared For Good Governance; They Don't React' - Rotimi Amaechi

Rotimi Amaechi

Rotimi Amaechi, the former minister of transportation, has laid the burden for Nigeria's incapacity to produce competent leaders on its citizens.

Amaechi made this statement on Thursday, October 26, 2023, while attending a lecture as a special guest in Lagos.

He claims that although while Nigerians are aware that the majority of politicians are dishonest, they yet choose to vote for them in elections.

"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? I say why should I speak when already there's nothing new?

"Nigerians choose who to believe and who not to believe, Nigerians choose who to vote and who not to vote. Even if you come to a Nigerian man's house and kill his mother, the father will continue his life. Nothing bothers you, nothing, so why should I waste my time?

"I will also say nothing about Tinubu's government because you know the problem. Instead of Nigerians to find solution to their problems, they are committing svicid£" Amaechi said.
