Amaechi Accuses PDP Of Stealing Public Funds, Blames Them For The Hunger In Nigeria

The minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of stealing public funds, he also blamed the party for the hunger in the country.

According to Punch, while speaking at an All Progressives Congress (APC) rally in Bauchi state on Saturday, January 12, 2019, the minister said that the PDP stole money meant to take care of Nigerians while they were in power. He said:

“I was speaking to my friend from the other divide and he said you are hungry, I said ‘yes, if they did not steal the money they stole, you would have had enough food.’

“The money they stole is what is making me hungry. Tell them, to bring the money.

“The PDP stole $2bn to prosecute 2015 elections but we still defeated them. They are broke, they are hungry and they want to come back to steal.

“The PDP members know that they are broke and because of that, they are looking for cheap source of funds.

“When they say there is no food, they want to steal money and they cannot do that because the President has said that public money is not for any individual.”
