APC Reacts Strongly To Amaechi’s Call For Protest Amid Economic Hardship

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has criticized Rotimi Amaechi, the former Minister of Transportation, for encouraging Nigerian youths to protest against the rising cost of living in the country.

Felix Morka, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, issued a statement on Friday in Abuja, labeling Amaechi’s remarks as insensitive and unpatriotic, urging that he should be ignored.

Amaechi, who previously served as a Speaker and was a two-term governor of Rivers State, recently expressed discontent in an interview, admonishing Nigerian youths for their failure to protest against the escalating cost of living.
