Rotimi Amaechi,
director-general of President Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organisation, has
reportedly described Nigeria as hopeless, saying the only way for the country
to make progress is for “everybody to be killed”.
According to an audio
released by Phrank Shaibu, an aide of Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Amaechi, who is minister of transportation,
said this in a conversation with some journalists.
The minister was heard
saying there would be a university in his village after the plans to build one
in Daura, hometown of President Muhammadu Buhari in Katsina state, have been
concluded.
Amaechi is from Ubima in
Ikwerre local government area of Rivers state.
TheCable could not
independently verify the audio. It is unclear when the conversation took place
but it has been generating reactions on social media.
“This country can never
change, I swear. The only way this country can change is in a situation where
everybody is killed,” Amaechi said in the audio.
“This country is going
nowhere. When Magnus (Abe) was secretary to the Rivers State Government (SSG),
I told him that this country is hopeless and helpless and he told me, ‘Oga,
stop it’. This cannot be coming from a governor.
“But two months in Abuja,
Magnus came to meet me and said, I agree with you; this country is hopeless and
helpless. All they do in Abuja is to share money." Read more here
