SEE how Rotimi Amaechi Shocks Nigerians - "Next Time, Don’t Vote For Us"

Former river state Governor, & Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi has said that the south-south region of Nigeria cannot intimidate the rest of the country.

Amaechi said this on Monday while speaking at a town hall meeting held in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state. He said the south-south is not a country on its own but a subset of Nigeria, which could not be doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

“It is part of a nation called Nigeria. You cannot continue to shoot against yourselves and think you will survive,” he said.
“You cannot continue to do the things you are doing and expect a different result. You cannot intimidate Nigerians. Don’t forget I was governor; I was never intimidated in Rivers state.

Amaechi also added: “It’s time to move forward. If we start the blame game, we would do it for four years and we wouldn’t have done anything and people don’t care about the blame game anymore.

“The reason why you voted for us is the reason why you are blaming the other people. Having voted for us, it means you heard us when we were campaigning that these people have failed and failed us.

“If we don’t give you development, next time, don’t vote for us. What development do we want to give you from my ministry? One of my offence in the south-south was that there we have no roads; this east west road was not constructed.

“When Orubebe attacked me here in Akwa Ibom, I replied by showing them the photograph of east west road and I showed them the flyovers I constructed across east west road anywhere the rivers flow I put a flyover across and I said facts speaks for them and the President called me and said Amaechi stop stop stop.

“He borrowed 100bn and started, he hasn’t finished it. Now it is your turn, the minister of Niger Delta. If you don’t complete it, God bless you.” Amaech said.
