In a statement, APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, accused Amaechi, of being a long-time beneficiary of state resources and contributing to the country’s economic challenges.
Morka condemned Amaechi’s alleged attempts to incite public unrest, calling him a “political freeloader” whose remarks are hypocritical, given his 24-year stint in power.

The APC also emphasized that “Nigerians are aware of the temporary economic challenges brought on by the current administration’s necessary reforms and will not be swayed by Amaechi’s call for protests.” Morka concluded by urging Nigerians to “reject Amaechi’s alleged call for anarchy and to remain patient and supportive of President Bola Tinubu’s transformative efforts to rebuild the economy for future generations.”...For More READ THE FULL STORY ▶▶
