Olayinka said Amaechi should be ashamed of himself for complaining after spending 23 years in government.
Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has fired back at former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, over his recent criticism of the Nigerian government.
Olayinka said Amaechi should be ashamed of himself for complaining after spending 23 years in government.
Posting on X, Olayinka recalled the number of years Amaechi has spent in government.
He wrote: “After spending 23 years in government, Rotimi Amaechi is still blaming the government.
“8 years as Speaker, 8 years as governor, and 7 years as Minister.
“Some people sha no get shame.
“Since 1999, Rotimi Amaechi has only been out of Govt for just TWO YEARS.
“Rotimi Amaechi said he is hungry, and you are supporting him because you don’t like those in govt now.”
His comment comes after the former minister disclosed that he and most Nigerians are hungry.
Speaking during the celebration of his 60th birthday in Abuja, Amaechi said the opposition coalition has the capacity to remove President Bola Tinubu from power.
Amaechi also claimed that Nigerian politicians quarrel over sharing of the country’s resources.
He said there are no ideas among Nigerian politicians, hence the fight over sharing of resources.
