Sunusi Takko, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi State has called out former Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi over his recent comments about President Bola Tinubu’s government.

Takko said Rotimi's open criticism of the current administration is unpatriotic and advised him to recover after he lost the APC presidential ticket to Tinubu in 2022.

Amaechi has been under the radar after he lost the presidential ticket but set the political scene ablaze when he lamented the economic hardship in the country and wondering saying the "youths are not angry enough".

“The fact that he lost to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu with the widest margin of votes doesn’t mean he should rock the boat, leading the path to destruction of lives and properties of fellow Nigerians," Takko said in his response.

“Amaechi should always learn to be loyal to those who have helped him one way or the other to reach his present position and status in life, knowing fully well that what goes around comes around.

“All the issues raised by Rotimi Amaechi for calling on the youth to rise against President Bola Tinubu’s presidency have been addressed in his October 1 presidential address and measures have already been put in place providing necessary recipe.

“One of such measures is the proposed National Youths Confab, which has been applauded by millions of Nigerian youths and will start yielding positive results in ameliorating some of these issues.”

The Bauchi politician called on Amaechi to learn statesmanship and be a democrat, adding that he had no barrier reaching out to the President without resorting to unscientific ways of expressing personal grievances through inappropriate channels.
