I Don’t Want To Be Vice, Simple, I Spoke English Clearly & I Didn’t Speak Hebrew – Amaechi
.In a recent interview on SYMFONI TV, former Rivers State Governor and former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has again stirred political conversations after firmly dismissing suggestions that he could accept a vice-presidential role in Nigeria’s political arrangement.
Amaechi made the statement while speaking to journalists after undergoing a screening exercise during a political process. The former governor, who appeared confident about the outcome of the screening, said he believed the exercise went well based on his previous experience in public office.
During the interaction, Amaechi addressed several national issues, including education, healthcare, unemployment, and national unity. He argued that Nigeria’s education system has become divided between the rich and the poor, stressing the need for reforms that would make quality education accessible to everyone.
Reflecting on his time as governor of Rivers State, Amaechi highlighted efforts made in improving public schools and healthcare services. According to him, his administration strengthened educational standards and expanded healthcare infrastructure, including the recruitment of additional doctors and the implementation of policies aimed at improving access to treatment.
He also spoke against divisive politics rooted in ethnicity and religion, insisting that Nigerians should see themselves first as citizens of one country rather than people divided by regional identities.
However, one of the moments that drew the most attention came when he responded to questions about reports suggesting he could settle for a vice-presidential position.
Amaechi dismissed the idea in clear terms, saying, “I don’t want to be vice, simple. I spoke English clearly and I did not speak Hebrew to anybody there.”
