Minister of Transport, Mr Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi on Monday accused the
National Assembly of stopping the Federal Government from fixing
infrastructure problems and creating jobs for the masses by failing to
approve it’s borrowing plan.
He equally said that the APC government did not promise to fix Nigeria’s
problem within a year and cautioned those lamenting the economic hardship
to wait till the end of the tenure in 2019 for the desired change.
He said this just as the minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed cautioned Nigerians making statement that could cause religious
disharmony warning that “no nation has ever survived religious war”.
The duo spoke in Ilorin, Kwara state capital during a north central town
hall meeting for the people of Kogi, Niger and host state; Kwara by the
federal government.
Amaechi who speaking at the occasion said though the federal government
had had the cries of Nigerians that things were difficult, they have to
wait till the end of the four years mandate given to the administration
before they could judge whether the government had performed or not.
According to him,”We did not promise you that those challenges will be
solved in one year,if we promise you that those challenges would be solved
in one year you would have given us one year but you gave us four years
mandate so wait till the end of four years before you can conclude that we
have not done well”.
