Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has expressed his disappointment at the way Nigerians are responding to the nation’s current economic challenges, stating that he had expected more visible reactions from citizens, particularly the youth.

In an interview with Igbere TV, Amaechi lamented the high cost of living, rising fuel prices, and other economic pressures.

He stated that he was surprised by the calmness with which Nigerians have reacted.

“I expected more agitation, especially from the youth.

“I thought we would see protests in the streets, but it seems people are not expressing the kind of anger I expected,” remarked the former governor of Rivers State.

Amaechi, who served as Minister of Transportation for nearly eight years under the Muhammadu Buhari administration, has been vocal about his concerns regarding the current state of the economy.

Amaechi pointed out that there has been no significant pushback from the public despite the soaring cost of living.

“You cannot have a situation where a group of people are mismanaging resources and expect citizens to remain silent. I am truly baffled by the lack of action,” he said.

Using Edo State as an example, Amaechi questioned whether politicians should be campaigning at all, given the state of the economy.

“The price of diesel is at an all-time high, and even some of us are finding it difficult to afford it. Yet, the general public seems unmoved.”
