Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, has said that corruption will return to the country “automatically”, if Nigerians vote out President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.
Amaechi stated this while speaking to journalists at his office on Thursday.
“Let me tell you, if we don’t win, corruption will come back automatically.
“Nobody will beg it.
“They have been out for four years and they have never been out of government before; PDP never left government, so now they are hungry. Not hungry for power, in fact if you tell them that I want to keep power and I will give you money, they will say take power and give us the money,” he said.
Amaechi however admitted that reelecting Buhari will not be an easy task, because Nigerians feel the president has not met the high expectations that led to his election in 2015.
“It was not easy last time but it will be more difficult now. Why it would be difficult, more difficult? Expectations were too high, and a lot of people felt that we did not meet those expectation but they are not looking at what it takes to meet those expectation,” he said.
