Former Minister of Transportation and ex-Governor of Rivers State, Chibuike Amaechi, has expressed his frustration with Nigerians, particularly the youth, over what he perceives as a lack of action in response to the nation’s economic challenges.

In an interview with Igbere TV, Amaechi expressed surprise that Nigerians have not taken to the streets to protest the rising cost of living and the ongoing economic hardship.

Amaechi criticized the passive reaction of the public, suggesting that Nigerians should be more outraged at the current situation.

“People should be angry because you cannot see a group of people stealing your money without doing anything. I am really angry with the citizens because they are not doing anything,” he stated.

Reflecting on the worsening economic conditions, including skyrocketing prices of essential commodities and energy, Amaechi pointed out the high cost of diesel as one of the severe impacts of inflation.

“Look at what happened in Edo State, should any politician be campaigning in Edo State? See, some of us cannot afford to buy diesel again because it’s costly,” he added.

The former minister, who served under the Muhammadu Buhari administration for nearly eight years, expressed his disappointment at the lack of protests, whom he expected to lead the charge for change.

“I expected youths to storm different streets and protest against the high cost of living, but I have not seen anything that shows that they are serious,” Amaechi declared.

Amaechi’s comments come at a time when Nigerians are grappling with the effects of subsidy removal, high inflation, and a generally tough economic climate.

I no blame this man and all of Nigeria's politicians. I blame the Nigerian people.

That's the only action that would reset the brains of these looters we've got at the helm of affairs.....

The masses are too docile for my liking...!!

You and who?

When they were shooting unarmed protesters and calling them terrorists because they are waving flags in the east, many people clapped and laughed, now those who shot unarmed protesters in the east have spread it to all the country,

Peaceful protests has ended.

Thise who protested in Kano are still eating watery beans since then

I expect Amaechi to lead the protests with his family and friends.

Amaechi installed APC on us to teach Goodlluck Jonathan a lesson. Now how market?
