Former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi has urged Nigerians to hold those in authority accountable.
Amaechi stated that responsible and people-oriented leadership is crucial to addressing the country’s economic and security challenges.
The former Rivers State governor made the call in his New Year message released on Wednesday.
Amaechi maintained that 2025 tested Nigeria’s resilience, with many families grappling with economic hardship, rising living costs and widespread insecurity.
The Rivers-born politician asked Nigerians to use the New Year as a turning point in the pursuit of peace, unity, improved security, economic stability and overall well-being.
According to him, citizens must collectively demand leadership that is responsible, responsive, transparent and accountable.
He said, “As we welcome the New Year, let us all commit to making a turning point in our national aspirations for peace, unity, improved security of lives and property, economic stability and prosperity, and the overall well-being of our people, by holding the government accountable.”
