The Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi has expressed his doubts that a bloody revolution can happen in Nigeria.
Amaechi who was speaking on Saturday in Ekiti at The Future Awards
Symposium which took place at the Ikogosi Warm Springs Resort said the
only thing that we can hope for are reforms, not a revolution.
He said, “Yes, revolution can happen outside Nigeria. But here, I do
not think so. Tell me what happened in Sudan, Libya, Zimbabwe and other
countries that have not happened here. Our elasticity has no limit. You
do not pray for electricity to be regular but you know that some
Nigerians pray ‘God, let the light be stable today.’ We pray without
working to solve our problems and we think God will do what we are
supposed to do for us.”
He made a reference to the action of youth in Lagos when a team of
soldiers when drafted to the Freedom Park, Ojota, during the Occupy
Nigeria protest which happened in January last year saying he knew that
would happen.
Amaechi said those who genuinely seek change would never be afraid of guns.
He, however, said he was not in support of the call for the
disintegration of the country, saying there were many advantages in
being together.
