Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has said the opposition coalition can remove President Bola Tinubu from power.

Amaechi disclosed that he and a large share of Nigerians are hungry, hence the opposition can remove Tinubu from power.

Speaking during his 60th birthday in Abuja, the former Rivers State governor recalled protesting against ex-military Heads of States, Ibrahim Babangida and Muhammadu Buhari.

According to Amaechi: “We are all hungry. All of us are. If you are not hungry, I am. So, for us the opposition, if you want us to remove the man in power (Tinubu), we can remove him from this power.

“As students, we organized the Tai Solarin’s protest against Babangida and we organized protest against Buhari – there was no North and South among the students.

“The protest that shut down ABU, University of Nigeria in Nsukka, University of Lagos and other places, the meeting took place in Kano.

“When we finished the meeting at night, everybody was told to go back to their school and mobilize. Once the NASS president addressed a press conference all of us were on the streets.

“You will see a young handsome Northerner and Southerner feel free and eat the same kind of food, but today we have poisoned the minds of our young men. They can’t even liberate themselves, we were able to liberate ourselves.”
