Forget Those Foolish Igbos, Not On Earth Will Nigeria Break Up-Rotimi Amachi Drops A Midweek BOMBSHELL.
The Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, has claimed that the role he played together with the Northerners in the removal of former President, Goodluck Jonathan, from power during the 2015 elections, was “a bigger threat than Biafra”.
Amaechi claimed that not many Nigerians knew that the nation was heading towards another civil war in 2015, had the election results of that year been tampered with, hence the Easterners are not happy with him.
Recall, that Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, had earlier revealed that the All Progressives Congress, APC, mobilised under-aged almajiris to vote out Jonathan.
The former Governor of Rivers State, made these statements at the maiden edition of the CKN News Annual Lecture, in Lagos.
He argued that the country cannot break-up.
“The removal of President Jonathan was a bigger threat than Biafra. Nigeria was inching towards the civil war. So, forget the talk about secession; Nigeria cannot break-up”, Amaechi said.
Speaking on the topic: “The Role of The Social Media in the Socio-economic and Political Development of Nigeria”, he noted that whilst the social media was generating huge funds on the one hand, it was also misinforming members of the public.
Amaechi added: “They misinform the public. They have no rules, except for the few that are credible, and it is because those ones rose from the traditional media. Social media can destroy this country. It is good for society and its polity, and it is also very bad.”
