Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has accused the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration of failing to protect the lives and property of Nigerians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement released on Tuesday by his media office, Amaechi condemned the Monday night bombing in Maiduguri, Borno State, describing the Tinubu-led government as \u201cabysmally incompetent\u201d and lacking the basic leadership skills required to safeguard citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commiserating with the families of the victims, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain said Nigerians cannot continue to mourn while the government \u201clives lavishly and ostentatiously\u201d without taking decisive action to end the country\u2019s insecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis government is killing Nigerians. I repeat, President Tinubu\u2019s government is killing Nigerians, literally destroying lives. He has failed in the most sacred duty of protecting the lives of the citizens of this country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Monday bombings in Maiduguri are not just a tragedy; they are a damning indictment of a leadership that has grown complacent, incompetent, and indifferent to the suffering and deaths of Nigerians from ravaging banditry,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amaechi lamented that the government is ignoring the suffering of Nigerians and failing to take serious action to stop the growing insecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhile families mourn and communities live in fear, those in power issue hollow statements and make empty promises. In fact, now they don\u2019t even bother to make promises anymore. They just move on as if nothing happened. Tinubu would rather be dining and partying in London while Nigeria burns. They just don\u2019t care!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow many more lives must be lost before they admit their failure? How many more communities must be shattered and destroyed before they take decisive action? Insecurity has become the daily reality of ordinary citizens, and yet the government continues to stumble, unprepared and unwilling to confront the menace with the seriousness it demands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added: \u201cNigerians deserve safety, peace, and dignity\u2014not negligence and continued excuses. If those in power cannot guarantee that, then they have no business clinging to authority. Leadership is not about rhetoric; it is about responsibility, action, and making the right decisions for the good of the people. Right now, this government has abandoned that responsibility, and the nation is paying the price.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also empathised with the people of Borno State and the victims\u2019 families, whose lives he said were \u201cshattered because of the government\u2019s failure to protect them,\u201d adding that \u201cenough is enough\u201d and calling for \u201cthe President to resign.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
