The
minister has also been urged to apologise to Nigerians for his
“indiscretion of elevating his personal ambition over a national tragedy
and a national sad mood.”
 The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has been given an
ultimatum to resign from his position over his ambition to contest in
the 2023 presidential election.
The National Executive Committee of the National Youth Council of
Nigeria (NYCN) gave Amaechi seventy-two hours to resign, saying the
timing was inappropriate following the bombing of the Abuja-Kaduna train
by terrorists.
The youths said it was shocked to see Amaechi “in a total
political jamboree, jumping around in the name of declaring for the 2023
presidency rather than being in a sober mood of seeking solutions to
the pains of the grieving Nigerians and particularly the affected
families.”
It called on the minister to apologise to Nigerians for his “indiscretion of elevating his personal ambition over a national tragedy and a national sad mood.”
The NYCN, at the end of its emergency meeting in Abuja, urged the
minister to resign within the next 48 hours or be sacked by President
Muhammadu Buhari as a mark of respect for the dead, who he deliberately
or unwittingly desecrated.
In a communique signed by the NYCN President, Solomon Adodo, the group said: “It
was, therefore, the rudest imaginable shock for them to see the
Minister of Transport, Chibuike Amaechi in a total political jamboree,
jumping around in the name of declaring for the 2023 presidency rather
than being in a sober mood of seeking solutions to the pains of the
grieving Nigerians and particularly the affected families.
“While the NYCN has nothing against Amaechi’s aspiration, his
actions is unconscionable, condemnable, reprehensible, irresponsible,
distasteful and disgraceful in the face of our national reality and
mood. It is tantamount to dancing on the graves of the victims of the
train attack, and celebrating the pains of the abducted and the wounded.
“The National Executive Council (NEC) of the NYCN is equally
saddened that Amaechi, who is supposed to take responsibility and lead
the way in ameliorating the plight of the victims, has rather thrown
caution to the winds and shown no strand of care.
“We are frustrated that while we are spending our resources,
and risking the lives of the youth leaders in trying to seek solutions
to our national challenges, politicians in the class of Amaechi who have
failed Nigeria in the first place, are working to force the country
into fatal amnesia by trivialising a matter as serious as the
Abuja-Kaduna rail track bombing.
“In all, the NYCN is very disappointed that a leader of
Amaechi’s standing and experience could be this insensitive to
Nigerians. The NYCN has always resisted the temptation to view him as a
careless, arrogant and unfeeling leader, as many of his critics argue.
“Sadly, however, the event of Saturday, April 9, 2022, in Port
Harcourt points unequivocally in that direction as far as his true
character is concerned.
“Since the only important thing in this country to him is his
aspiration for the presidency, he should therefore vacate the Ministry
of Transport before worse disasters hit us.” |
