In an interview with Igbere TV, Amaechi criticised the lack of proactive responses, particularly from the youth, in the face of rising living costs.
Amaechi, who previously served as the governor of Rivers State, expressed surprise at the absence of protests from young people demanding action against the nation’s economic decline.

He said, “People should be outraged. You cannot watch a group of people stealing your money and do nothing. I am truly upset with the citizens for their inaction.”
Referring to the situation in Edo State, Amaechi added, “Should any politician even be campaigning in Edo State? Some of us can no longer afford to buy diesel because the price is outrageous.”
