This isn’t the Nigeria we fought for — Amaechi
ELDER Statesman and First Republic Minister of Aviation, Chief Mbazulike Amaechi is the last man standing in Southern Nigeria among the generation of nationalists who fought for the nation’s independence. He is also the only surviving minister from the South that served in the first post-independence cabinet. The surviving quartet in that cabinet is Shehu Shagari, Shettima Ali Mungono, Inuwa Wada and Maitama Sule, who are all from the North. Looking at Nigeria at 53, he lamented that things had degenerated and offers the way forward.
