Rotimi Amaechi, Minister of Transportation, has stated that the elites are Nigeria’s major problem.
Talking at the 2022 World Press Freedom Day celebrations in Uyo on Tuesday, May 3, the former Rivers Governor urged Nigerians to vote the proper people into leadership roles and to keep politicians accountable at all times.
He said: “The problem of the country is not the poor man in Akwa Ibom or Rivers, in the South East or in the North. It is you and I, the elite.”
He also weighed in on the topic of restructuring.
He said: “Why you are hearing restructuring, it is because the elites’ consensus on sharing (resources) is disappearing.
“It is because there is nothing to share again. We are broke. The problem facing this country is caused by the elites, including you.”
