Amaechi Says No Money To Run Government,Urges Nigerians To Be Patient

                                        

Minister of Transport and former Rivers State governor Rotimi Amaechi in a speech at a forum organised by NAN said Nigerians have run out of patience with the current administration because “their pocket is getting dried”,
That people are more interested  having resources in their “pockets” than the structural changes that the federal government planned to put in place.
Amaechi who said there was no money to run  the government said the APC highly underestimated the challenges ahead of it.

“We encountered challenges; were we expecting to encounter those challenges? Yes; did we think that we will meet the quantum or volume of those challenges?” he asked.

“We didn’t anticipate that things were this bad. We thought you go to government and there would be money for you to run government and others.

“Now you have the situation where there is no money to run government. I hate to use the word difficult; I hate to use the word impossible but we met things close to difficult and impossibility.

“That is why Nigerians are impatient; they want to see results and for them, change is not about change in structure, it is about change in their pocket.

“Because their pocket is getting dried and they wanted us to put some more resources in their pocket.

“What I usually say to people is that we beg you to give us time; we will achieve our objective if you give us time and we will both thank God for that opportunity.”
