Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has argued that Nigerians were better off under the administration of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari than they are under the current government.
Amaechi said living conditions under the current administration has deteriorated significantly for Nigerians, unlike during Buhari’s administration.
He made the remarks at the ongoing electoral reform protest taking place at the National Assembly in Abuja.
The protest, branded “Occupy the National Assembly’, attracted a large turnout of Nigerian youths who gathered to express concerns over what they see as threats to credible elections and democratic accountability.
Amaechi said: “Is life easier now than when I was in the APC? Life is worse now than during the time of former President Buhari. Even though we were planning to remove subsidy.”
Amaechi’s participation in the protest was driven by demands for the real-time electronic transmission of election results, an issue that has sparked widespread public anger following the Senate’s decision to reject the proposal as part of the ongoing electoral reform efforts.
