Former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi has accused the President Bola Tinubu-led administration of causing artificial hunger in the country.
Speaking in an interview on ARISE News on Friday, the former Rivers State governor chastised the incumbent All Progressives Congress administration, accusing Tinubu of intentionally instilling hunger as a political tool to influence voters.
“The president is creating hunger as a way of manipulating voters. On that day, city boys will bring a bag of rice, and some people will eat that rice and vote for them because a bag of rice does not solve hunger for the rest of the year,” he said.
Amaechi further alleged that the APC is undermining the opposition by influencing political and government institutions against them.
“If they say they are strong, why are they not allowing the opposition to have their political parties? Why are they influencing the political and government institutions against the opposition? Why won’t they leave the rule of law?” he questioned.
Amaechi, who described himself as the best political aspirant of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, noted that his first priority if elected president would be the enforcement of law and order.
“The first thing I would do as president of Nigeria is the rule of law. It has to be law and order,” he stated.
