Rotimi Amaechi, former minister of transportation, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking with journalists in Abuja on Wednesday after the
official adoption of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the opposition
coalition platform ahead of the 2027 elections, Amaechi said he resigned from
the ruling party on Tuesday.
Amaechi said he never believed in President Bola Tinubu’s
capacity to lead the country.
“Nigeria is completely destroyed. People can’t eat. There is
no money to buy food. Everything is gone. Inflation is at its peak. And the
federal government is busy going around trying to hijack the election. INEC is
helping them to hijack the election,” Amaechi alleged.
“What has happened here is not just the formation of a party
but a movement. A movement that empowers Nigerians to take over the government
themselves.
“I left APC last night. I never attended one meeting (APC
meeting). The last time they invited me, I warned them.
“In fact, I was surprised that I wasn’t even expelled
because I warned them in writing not to invite me to any meeting.
“You can’t be in a club where the majority of people are
stealing, and you don’t say anything.
“I have never believed that Tinubu is a material to govern
the country.
“I have never, because people now want Buhari to return. We
see in Nigeria that when a new government takes over, it becomes worse than the
previous government.
“People are asking for Buhari because things were better
during Buhari’s administration. Dollar was, I think, N460 or five hundred and
something, now a dollar is N1,580, more than one hundred percent.”
Amaechi served as governor of Rivers state from 2007 to
2015, after serving as speaker of the state house of assembly between 1999 and
2007.
He was the minister of transportation during former
President Muhammadu Buhari’s two terms.
