Sequel to allegations that politicians, who occupy offices in Nigeria, are enriching themselves rather than improving the lives of Nigerians, a former Rivers state Governor, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has supported the allegation.
Amaechi who spoke at the fifth edition of the Nigeria symposium for young and emerging leaders held in Lagos at the weekend, said he knows politicians who have suddenly become billionaires and asked Nigerians to hold them accountable.
His words: “I know politicians who have suddenly become billionaires, and this is the money that should have been used to build roads and provide amenities that could have been used to improve the lives of citizens.”
“Our politicians have to be clear about how they intend to lift people out of poverty.”
