Amaechi’s Presidential Ambition Unethical, Insensitive – GNC
The Generation Next Collective (GNC), a coalition of groups of pragmatic youths and women development strategists, has said the timing and festivity associated with the presidential declaration of the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, was callous, distasteful, and questions his humanity and leadership value. THE NATION reports.
Recall that Amaechi had publicly declared his intention to run for the office of the president with a huge rally with many big wigs of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Port- Harcourt, Rivers State last weekend. Information Guide Nigeria

According to THE NATION, GNC in a statement by its co-conveners, Barrister Ruth Edehemon and Malam Rufai Abdulahi, stressed that such an act of insensitivity failed ethical and leadership tests as it goes against the current mood of the nation on account of the shocking tragedy that occurred in a sector under the watch of Amaechi. jamb results
The statement reads: “It was not only shocking but disturbing to see Amaechi, a supposed supervisory Minister of the Nigeria Railway Corporation, that recently witnessed the tragic terrorist attack that threw the whole nation into mourning, gyrating in Port-Harcourt, in such a needless political carnival, as if the lives of those that died or those of others still in the dungeon of the evil enemies of the Nigerian state, do not matter.
“While we agree that it is within Amaechi’s constitutional rights to aspire to any public office, doing so while tears of the family members of the dead victims and those still in captivity are still flooding, is a bitter mockery of the dead and the sorrow of their families.
“It is on record that some presidential aspirants suspended their political programmes because of the national tragedy but Amaechi, who is yet to resign as a serving Minister thought it politically expedient to host a distasteful, disgraceful, and senseless show of political exhibitionism, which we consider as an act akin to urinating on the corpses of the unfortunate victims.
“We also note with dismay, that Amaechi’s most visible response to the tragedy so far, was the wailing that a multi-billion naira contract he initiated for purported security surveillance meant for his alleged preferred company with the questionable capacity and track record, was not approved by the Federal Executive Council (FEC).

“To us in GNC and others who believe that leadership should have a human face, Amaechi’s unforced political miscalculation, shows that he doesn’t believe that political leadership should essentially be anchored on the democratic principles that prioritize the interest, well-being and happiness of the people.
“By this singular careless action, Amaechi has failed the test of sound judgement, which is the bedrock of good leadership.
