Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi has said that Nigerians’ apathy is to blame for the nation’s failure to produce leaders of character, but he has also said that the populace in the country supports the rascality of politicians.

The 2023 The Niche Annual Lecture, “Why We Stride and Slip: Leadership, Nationalism, and the Nigerian Condition,” took place on Thursday in Lagos, with Amaechi as a special guest.

Amaechi Blames Nigerians For Politicians' Rascality

He claims that despite the fact that most politicians in Nigeria are dishonest, people still vote for them in elections.

“What is new to say, Nigerians don’t react to anything. Has any politician told you he is not a thief?

Which politician told you he went to university, which politician told you she served in NYSC, and which politician told you he has his certificate?

 

Nigerians know and still vote for them, so what is your problem? I say why should I speak when already there’s nothing new?

“Nigerians choose who to believe and who not to believe, Nigerians choose who to vote and who not to vote.

“ Even if you come to a Nigerian man’s house and kill his mother, the father will continue his life. Nothing bothers you, nothing, so why should I waste my time?” Amaechi asked.
