The Nigerian Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi who some days ago claimed he doesn’t like money and cannot be corrupt has made yet another shocking claim.
The Transport minister who was earlier linked to the sum of $43million found in an Ikoyi apartment by operatives of the anti-graft agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in a recent interview with Channels TV stated that Nigerians owe him a lot.
The minister who was the All Progressive Congress, APC Presidential campaign manager for the 2015 general election claimed he has been working tirelessly to limit and reduce the level of corruption in the country.
Speaking during the recent interview, Amaechi said regarding the last general elections and his role: “Nigerians wanted change.”
He added: “The level of corruption was very high so Nigerians wanted to contribute to remove that government. I believe that Nigerians owe me a lot.
“When I seat in my house, I feel that Nigerians owe me a lot.”
He continued: “First, we saved this country from that level of corruption. Corruption where you see $50 million at Osborne street and those who shared in the corruption are busy dancing about it.”
