Ministers squatting in Abuja; Buhari would sack me if I was corrupt – Amaechi

The Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, has disclosed that some of his colleagues in the federal cabinet are currently squatting in Abuja.
He spoke in an interview with Osasu Igbinedion, on The Osasu Show.

“Listen to me; do you know that ministers, as we are talking now, some of them are squatting? We are living in conditions equal to that of most Nigerians,” the former Rivers Governor said.


Commenting on the rail line recently commissioned, Amaechi said the project would ease accommodation challenges facing those who cannot afford the high rent charged in Abuja.

His words: “For those who don’t have houses, they’re able to rent houses at a cheap cost in Kaduna as against that of Abuja. It also impacts the savings; you have disposable income in your hand. It also impacts on agriculture, agricultural produce, you can transport easily and it will impact on cost of production because at that point, you’re able to move the cargo at a cheaper cost.

“And then whatever comes out of production, will be sold to the people at a cheaper cost. So basically, it has economic importance that would at the end of the day, impact on the socio-economic entities of Kaduna and Abuja.”

On allegations that he is corrupt and calls on President Muhammadu Buhari to sack him on that basis, Amaechi responded: “You know I have said I several times, if I was to be the governor, and I have evidence against them, I would go to court.


“Okay, I’m at the court of appeal as former governor and I said ‘can I see the report that says I was indebted’? Till today, they’re not able to produce the report so the case is not able to go on because judges of the court of appeal say ‘we can’t go on except we see the documents to base our judgment on’.

“Till today, Rivers State government is not able to produce the document. So if a man is corrupt, don’t go to radio and TV, produce the evidence.

“No Nigerian is thinking about it; oh Buhari should sack Governor Amaechi he’s corrupt, provide it, he doesn’t need to sack me. What will sack me is to provide the evidence in court; the president will have no choice but to relieve me of my position.”

Amaechi, who refused to answer a question regarding his publicized truce with the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, also spoke on political crisis in his home state.

“I served as governor for eight years. Let one person come forward and say Amaechi supervised the killing of somebody or hired political thugs to go and kill somebody or hired political thugs to disrupt a meeting,” Amaechi said.

“From when I started politics in 1987 till now, I’m looking for the person. In all these madness going on in Rivers State, have you read anywhere in the newspaper where my name is mentioned about killings?

“First, I’m a Christian, I believe that only God can create human beings and if you take life, it is irreplaceable and there is no justification, whether political or religious or anything that can make you take life. If you do that, first, the law should come after you, secondly, your God should judge you.”

Ameachi is a big boy who can afford to accommodate his squatting colleagues in some of his choice properties in Abuja and environs.

Let them continue squatting na. Many Nigerians are also squatting. It's not a big deal jare. Let them just do their work and move this country forward lobatan. Chief wailer happney65 abi wetin you think.

On the issue of corruption, woke should stop talking and do something. If you have anything to proof against him please do. If efcc no gree hear you then publish it in the center page of newspapers for us to see. We just keep hearing amaechi is corrupt without evidence.
I believe this country can be better if we have good leaders that don't think of their pockets alone. Because no politician is a saint. I don't trust any of them.

God bless Nigeria
God bless me and God bless the president
