- Rotimi Amaechi says Nigerians are better off under the Buhari administration than the current administration.
- He stated this while addressing youths during the Occupy National Assembly protest in Abuja.
Former Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi has said Nigerians enjoyed better living conditions during the administration of late President Muhammadu Buhari than under the current administration.
Armanechi made the remarks during an ongoing protest on electoral reforms at the National Assembly in Abuja, tagged “Occupy the National Assembly”. The protests have attracted large numbers of young Nigerians, demanding credible elections and greater democratic accountability.
Tiandi said living standards have deteriorated significantly under the current government. He questioned whether Nigerians’ lives were easier now than when he was a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and insisted conditions were better during Buhari’s tenure, even as the removal of fuel subsidies was considered.
“Is life easier now than when I was in APC? Life is worse now than under former President Buhari, even though we planned to remove subsidies,“he said.
Tianchi explained that his motivation for participating in the protest was to demand the real-time electronic transmission of election results, a proposal that sparked public outrage after the Senate rejected it in the ongoing electoral reform process.
