The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has revealed just one question Nigerians need to ask politicians whenever they come to seek their support.
The Former Governor of Rivers State said Nigerians should learn to use the question “how” to scrutinize politicians when they make promises during campaign.
Amaechi, a 2023 presidential aspirant stated this while speaking in a separate visit to the government and delegates of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ondo and Ekiti states, Monday.
According to him: “One question you should always ask politicians is ‘how?’ like everybody is saying now, ‘I will create employment.’ How do you create employment? They will all come and say ‘I will create wealth.’ Your question should be ‘how?’
