Wike Slams Amaechi: Took Son To Protest Without Medical Support Or Ambulance.

Published

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has criticised former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi over his participation in the “Occupy the National Assembly” protests.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Amaechi, who attended the protest with his son, joined other Nigerians demanding the electronic transmission of results for the 2027 election. He had explained to journalists that bringing his son reflected his belief that leaders should be physically present at major protests and stand with the people, rather than observe from afar.

Reacting during his keynote address at the 2026 Distinguished Personality Lecture Series of the Faculty of Social Sciences on Tuesday—an event he attended with two of his own sons—Wike mocked Amaechi’s claim that his son, a medical doctor, was there to provide emergency care for participants.

“The other day, some people went for a demonstration, and somebody said, ‘I brought my son here, who is a medical doctor, in case anyone falls,’” Wike said. “Meanwhile, the child has no medical equipment with him. There’s no ambulance on site in case someone collapses.”

Wike further accused opposition leaders of hypocrisy, arguing that those now calling for transparency remained silent on such reforms when they held power.

“People are talking about electronic transmission today, but why aren’t they asking who was responsible for the absence of electronic transmission in the last election? When they are out of office, they borrow the people’s voice; when they are in office, they say nothing,” he added.
