By Chibuike Nwabuko
Abuja (Sundiata Post) – Special Adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri on Friday blasted the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi over his reason for hike in train fares, describing it as a silly excuse.
Sundiata Post recalls that Amaechi on Thursday, while speaking at the 3rd edition of the Kaduna Investment Summit, said that the train fares between Kaduna and Abuja was increased because rich people now use it more than the poor.
Reno who was disguested with the excuse, also reminded that Jonathan who revived Nigeria’s trains revived them and made train rides affordable.
He therefore wondered why the All Progressives Congress-led federal government who promised change will now increase the fare because rich people now use it more than the poor.
Reno stressed that it it silly to punish those who can’t afford the hish price because of those who can.
He disclosed when he took to his twitter handle @renoomokri and said:
“You didn’t revive Nigeria’s trains. Jonathan revived them and made train rides affordable. You took over promising change and now increase the fare because rich people now use it more than the poor. What a silly excuse! Punishing those who cant afford it because of those who can?”
