The Minister of Transport
and Director General of the campaign organisation of President Mohammadu
Buhari during 2015 general election, Chibuike Amaechi, yesterday, said
the All progressives Congress (APC) government never promised to fix
Nigeria’s problem within a year, urging Nigerians to wait till the end
of four years.
Rotimi Amaechi said this
just as the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed
cautioned Nigerians making statement that could cause religious
disharmony, warning, “no nation has ever survived religious war.”
The duo spoke in Ilorin, Kwara State capital during a North Central town
hall meeting for the people of Kogi, Niger and host state, Kwara, by
the federal government.
“We did not promise
that the challenges will be solved in one year. If we promised that the
challenges would be solved in one year, you would have given us one
year, but you gave us four years mandate; so, wait till the end of four
years,” Amaechi said.
While giving
stewardship of his ministry, the transport minister said the failure of
the National Assembly to approve the Federal Government’s borrowing plan
from China was holding the government back, urging the people from the
three states to prevail on the National Assembly to approve the loan. He
said the loan, if accessed, would enable the federal government to
embark on the revitalisation of rail projects which would create more
jobs for Nigerians.
