The African Action Congress (AAC) 2023 presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has slammed former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, over his comment on ending corruption in one month.

Naijaonpoint reports that the former governor of Rivers State made the statement during a discussion on 𝕏 Space.

Amaechi stated that he would change the Nigerian constitution if elected President in 2027.

He said, “If I become President, I will change the constitution from indigeneship to citizenship.

“If I do not end corruption in Nigeria within one month, I will tender my resignation.

“I challenged the present FCT minister, Wike, to take a walk along the streets of Port Harcourt, which will reveal who is healthy and who the people actually loved.”

Reacting to the comment, Sowore, in a video posted by SaharaReporters, described Amaechi as “a fool at 40”, stating he had served as minister, governor, and Speaker, yet failed to curb corruption.

Sowore also warned Nigerians to avoid being deceived by Amaechi and other politicians, adding that the current situation in the country has caused many young people to appear older.

He said, “Amaechi said he would end corruption in one month, Amaechi has been a Speaker for eight years, governor for eight years making it 16 years.

“He was Minister for eight years, making it 24 years. If you deduct 24 from 60 what do you say? A fool at 40 is a fool forever.

“They are all deceiving you, yes we have alternatives and we have provided that we will participate but we are not bound by one alternative because we don’t have time on our side.

“The clock is ticking and I keep telling the youths that we don’t have time you might be youth today but not youth forever.

“There are some Nigerian youths that when I see them, I’m 54 and when I see them they say that they are 24 and I ask, are we the same age? Because the system has made them not look their age anymore.”
