The “hunger” by Nigerians today is caused by the havoc wreaked on the nation’s economy by the previous administrations of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has said.

“They said you are hungry,” Rotimi Amaechi, the Minister of Transportation, said on Friday in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, during the flag-off of the APC election campaign.

“You are hungry because they stole the money. If the money was here, you wouldn’t have been hungry.”

Mr Amaechi, a former governor of Rivers is the director general of President Muhammadu Buhari re-election campaign.

Mr Buhari, accompanied by the APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole; a national leader of the party, Bola Tinubu, and some of the APC governors, was in Uyo to flag off the party’s campaign for the 2019 general elections.


Mr Buhari is seeking a second term in office.

Mr Amaechi said corruption is one of Nigeria’s major problem, and that Mr Buhari was not giving up on the anti-corruption fight.

“We got in and saw the challenges. We never knew they had stolen all the money. We thought they had a conscience to leave some money behind.

“You know, the difference between us and the other party (PDP) is that they are not saying that they are not corrupt,” the minister said

“They say we are corrupt, but APC is also corrupt. They agree that the president is not corrupt. What they are saying is those around the president are corrupt. But they agree that they are corrupt.

“We are saying as APC that we are not corrupt and that we are fighting corruption. Whether you are APC or PDP, when you are corrupt we will fight you.”

He cautioned Nigerians against voting for PDP in the 2019 elections.

“If you vote for the other party, let me tell you what will happen. They are so hungry that if they come out, they will be too busy stealing money that by the time Nigerians realise it, we are back to recession.”

Mr Amaechi said President Buhari did not promise to make the value of naira equal to a dollar, nor promised to reduce the price of petrol.

“Anybody who said we promised one naira will be to one dollar must be a magician. Anybody who said we promised we were going to bring down fuel price must also be a magician.

“We are not voodoo economists,” he said.

The minister added, “When we got in, we were mindful of the promises that we made. So, the president gave all us who were in the cabinet challenges to ensure that we rescue this country.


“We commenced activities believing that Nigerians would know that change doesn’t come that easily. Even as ministers we feel the pain of change. We know that when you want to make any change you must realise that it will come with some pain.

“We are here asking you to learn the fact that we need another chance to complete the assignment you have given to us. And we will complete it as soon as you give us that chance to come back.”

This is not the first time the ruling party will be blaming the PDP for the woes of the nation.

But ironically, many of the current APC leaders, including Mr Amaechi, were the ones running the past PDP-led administrations in the country.

During the event, the APC handed over flags to its governorship candidates in the South-south region.

The constitution says he enjoys immunity but can be impeached by Kano House of Assembly for gross misconduct. As far as Kano HOA is yet to act, he stays until his tenure expires just like Ayo Fayose.

Amechi was part of the looters for fifteen years then sold Rivers State assets to Tonye Cole and became a saint in APC. You demonic idiots supporting APC should continue listening to and hailing other idotic liers in APC.

Atiku comes yo mind. Who has indicted Atiku

Amaechi and the Akpabios chopped in the 16 years, now they are in the APC.

We got in and saw the challenges. We never knew they had stolen all the money. We thought they had a conscience to leave some money behind.

We will never let PDP come back to power in this nation, if we dont want to disappear from the world.
Thieves regrouping to loot again.

You are 100% right.

If not for the fact that President MUHAMMADU BUHARI is too lenient and gentle on these thieves, they are all supposed to be in jail, for a very long time now.

Any party any politician that looted this country in is what i am talking about.

Even a thief that stole N33.6bn on a 12kilometre abandoned monorail is calling people thieves...

Or the Keystone/Etisalat rogue wants to also mis-inform the public...

Wonders shall never end...

Was Amechi not one of the PDP wolves? Was he not the one known for saying 'we steal because you don't stone us'? I laugh at you all.

And PDP has been ruling in the last 3 years plus abi

Obj solved GSM issues and crippling debt
Yaradua solved Niger Delta issues and reduced oil prices
Goodluck solved massive unemployment , introduced TSA, IPPIS, reopened railways, built airports to world standard, revamped Agric under Adeniyi.

What has Buhari started and finished?

He's deluded

Can you provide any evidence of corruption against any of the men above.

If indicted, why has the government failed to get them behind bars till today?

“They say we are corrupt, but APC is also corrupt. They agree that the president is not corrupt. What they are saying is those around the president are corrupt. But they agree that they are corrupt.

And who are the people around the president?? And what baffles me most is how some people celebrates these shameless people when they talk especially on nairaland. Imagine amaechi saying pdp caused hunger by stealing and some youths are still praising him instead of asking him those he's referring to. Amaechi was a very strong pdp governor so i would have loved if his people here on nairaland corrected him to say, this hunger is caused by us for stealing all the money while we were in pdp .

I swear the recent APC online urchins being recruited are a bunch of halfwits! So it is the party that loots and not the humans in the party? So I can move into party A and loot some money, then move to party B and be free of all wrongdoing? What kind of imbecilic reasoning is this!

I cant help your lack of reasoning and intelligence.
Keep wallowing in your imbecillic reasoning.
Cant converse with you, so you wont affect me negatively!
Bye!

PDP and APC all have things in common sweet mouth their way with sentimental Nigerians, get their votes then then do a little percentage of their memorandum it's always the minor ones and Nigerians would say that they're working then they'd probably abandon the project, then they give their middle fingers to education and health sectors cause why would they care when they could always go abroad for quality education and health services? Then they take money even though with the kind of salary they're being paid and some cringeworty allowances they have to care for they still embezzle money ment for developing their own country.

Abortions:
Ok u the Party that are not too busy stealing money and not hungry what have u done for the past 4 wasted years Ok Sorry i forgot u are still fighting corruption... Bye bye

Na so. There is more hunger now that APC is fighting corruption than when PDP was looting. Something is not right with this stew. It smells of daily propaganda

Cos u politicians have zoomed off money meant for poor masses

Amaechi looks hungry in that picture sef
