The Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, has
admonished his colleagues in the Muhammadu Buhari
administration to stop blaming former President
Goodluck Jonathan.
Mr. Amaechi said it is time for administration officials to
concentrate on delivering good policies to the citizens
rather than dragging the former president for Nigeria’s
woes.
“I agree with those who said we should stop criticising
the last government and that we should do our own,”
The Nation newspaper quoted Mr. Amaechi as saying
during a meeting at his office Tuesday.
The minister decried Nigeria’s infrastructure deficit,
drawing a comparison with other relatively new countries
like Singapore.
“We need to leverage on what we know. People are
shouting intermodal transport; I went to the new airport
in Singapore and I didn’t find one person at the airport.
“As you walk in, technology takes over,” Mr. Amaechi
said.
He called for an urgent renaissance in Nigeria’s
infrastructure, especially in the area of information and
communications technology.
“They also said in the next few years, they would
introduce driverless cars. We should also think outside
the box about how to improve our transport sector and
think less about how sun and moon affect the sector or
building more bus stops.
“We should see how much investment we can put in the
area of ICT. Intelligence transportation should not be
ignored,” he added.
If heeded, Mr. Amaechi’s call would mark a shift in
Buhari administration’s approach to public engagement.
Since assuming office in 2015, President Buhari has led
his appointees and party members to blame Mr.
Jonathan for failing to properly direct the country’s
affairs during his tenure.
Allegations such as senseless looting of public funds,
nepotism, economic mismanagement and gross abuse
of power are regularly directed at Mr. Jonathan.
In June, Mr. Amaechi slammed Mr. Jonathan
for allegedly failing the Igbo during his years, saying the
former president left the region in a state of disrepair.
“President Jonathan went to Onitsha and danced and
promised to construct Onitsha bridge. Right? After that
nothing happened,” Mr. Amaechi said at a social media
forum in Lagos on June 13.
Bolaji Abdullahi, a spokesperson for the APC, told
PREMIUM TIMES the call was appropriate.
“Enough of blaming the previous administration,
Nigerians want us to focus,” the spokesperson said.
Mr. Abdullahi said the wrongdoings of Mr. Jonathan’s
government would remain in the memories of Nigerians,
but that the current administration was not voted to
amplify them.
“Yes, there were problems created by the previous
administration, but Nigerians didn’t vote for us because
they want us to be telling them who’s responsible. They
want us to be solving problems,” he said.
