These are not harmless metaphors. These are calculated words from a man who once sat at the highest tables of power and now wishes to ignite unrest as a path to the presidency,\u201d Obadiah stated.<\/p>\n<p>CDND said it was \u201cdeeply alarmed\u201d by the former minister\u2019s attempt to draw parallels between Nigeria and countries like Bangladesh and Peru, where mass protests have resulted in government overthrows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you cite examples of foreign uprisings, celebrate their outcomes, and lament that Nigeria is \u2018too docile,\u2019 you are clearly inciting civil unrest. The law must not treat this lightly. There is no meaningful difference between Rotimi Amaechi and Nnamdi Kanu in this context. Both have used inflammatory language, promoted civic disobedience, and hinted at bloodshed to advance their political causes,\u201d the group stated.<\/p>\n<p>Amaechi, who governed Rivers State from 2007 to 2015 and served as Nigeria\u2019s Minister of Transportation under President Muhammadu Buhari from 2015 to 2023, recently declared his intention to run for president in 2027 on the platform of the ADC.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, he needs only one term to \u201cturn the country around\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>But CDND dismissed the declaration as \u201cself-righteous opportunism from a man who spent 16 years in public office with little to show\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRotimi Amaechi has never worked in the private sector for even a day in his life. He moved from being Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, to Governor for eight years, then Minister for another eight \u2014 all within the public purse. And yet, Nigeria\u2019s transport sector remains in shambles, our seaports dysfunctional, and the rail projects he championed mired in debt, opacity, and inflation,\u201d Obadiah said.<\/p>\n<p>The group described Amaechi\u2019s record as Minister of Transportation as \u201cunderwhelming and overhyped,\u201d citing failed rail expansions, delays in infrastructure delivery, and unresolved questions around the multi-billion-dollar Chinese loans used to fund projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat exactly is Rotimi Amaechi campaigning on? The Chinese rail loans that mortgaged our sovereignty? The Port Harcourt\u2013Maiduguri rail that never took off? Or the Lagos\u2013Ibadan railway that remains incomplete despite fanfare and borrowing? Let Nigerians not be deceived by fiery speeches. Amaechi\u2019s track record is not a reformer\u2019s re\u0301sume\u0301 \u2014 it\u2019s an indictment,\u201d Obadiah stated.<\/p>\n<p>CDND further criticised Amaechi\u2019s remarks blaming citizens for their own helplessness in the face of elite domination, calling it a \u201cstunningly arrogant and morally bankrupt position\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow dare he tell Nigerians they made themselves helpless? Was it the ordinary citizen who awarded inflated contracts, looted security votes, or sabotaged anti-corruption agencies? The same elites who made a mess of governance are now mocking the people they failed. It is the height of insensitivity,\u201d the group stated.<\/p>\n<p>In his Thursday comments, Amaechi said, \u201cThe elites who are stealing Nigerian money are not up to 100,000 but you have 200 million Nigerians who can fight 100,000 men. You sit down in your house and complain and grumble&#8230; What makes you think the elites would move their hands completely?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CDND described the statement as \u201ca call to arms disguised as political analysis\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo leader with a conscience should ever frame politics as a battle of Nigerians versus elites, or suggest that resistance requires violence. This is how civil wars begin. The Buhari government prosecuted Nnamdi Kanu for far less provocative statements. Why is Amaechi still walking free?\u201d Obadiah asked.<\/p>\n<p>The group said Nigeria\u2019s security agencies must act swiftly to investigate and prosecute Amaechi to deter other political actors from adopting radical rhetoric in pursuit of power.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe call on the Inspector-General of Police, the Department of State Services, and the Office of the Attorney-General to treat Amaechi\u2019s speech as a matter of national security. No democracy survives when former ministers openly romanticise bloodshed. If Nnamdi Kanu\u2019s radio was considered treasonous, then Amaechi\u2019s microphone must not become a licence for anarchy,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n<p>The group also warned that the ADC must distance itself from what it called \u201cextremist populism,\u201d or risk becoming a safe harbour for political actors who \u201ctraffic in chaos\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe African Democratic Congress must make it clear whether it stands for democratic dialogue or revolutionary violence. The 2027 election is not a war, and parties that treat it as such must be held accountable,\u201d Obadiah said.<\/p>\n<p>CDND noted that Amaechi\u2019s comments about wanting to \u201cjapa\u201d but being stopped by his wife are an example of \u201ccosmetic humility masking deep political entitlement\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019ve held office for 16 years and failed to deliver, the next step is not revolution \u2014 it is reflection and accountability. The problem is that Nigeria\u2019s political class, of which Amaechi is a founding member, has no shame. They believe they can burn the house they helped ruin and then return to rebuild it with our lives and blood. Nigerians must reject this madness,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n<p>Obadiah concluded by urging young Nigerians not to be drawn into \u201cviolent fantasy masquerading as reform,\u201d and insisted that Nigeria\u2019s redemption must come through civic pressure, democratic institutions, and constitutional change \u2014 not bloodshed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
