Minister of Transportation and former Rivers stat governor, Rotimi Amaechi, on Thursday, explained why Nigerians should be grateful to President Muhammadu.
The Minister, who spoke on Thursday in Abeokuta, Ogun State, during the launch of the State Mass Bus Transit System, said Buhari should be commended for executing “massive” railway projects across Nigeria.
Amaechi further explained that in spite of criticisms of the huge borrowing, the incumbent administration has constructed several railways since it came to power in 2015.
According to him: “What you (Nigerians) owe us is not only gratitude, I know you won’t, some of you, but most of you will, if you are APC (members), what you owe us is the gratitude of the tenacity of the President, who despite the criticism of borrowing money is continuing to construct the railway, that is what you owe us. Because the moment you say to a man you are doing well, he will do more.

“In Fact he approved that we should redirect the initial design of the railway from Lagos through Apapa to Epe to Lekki deep sea port so that we don’t have a logjam as we have now in Apapa at the Lekki deep sea port which will conclude construction by September and then commission it in September.

“Let me also thank President Obasanjo because this was his master plan and then we implemented his master plan.
“And I hope that when we leave, whoever, I know APC will win again, whoever is the President should continue from where we stopped.”
