Addressing Amaechi, Ukupevi said, “Please tell Mr. President that things are not working. Nigerians’ joy has been turned to sorrow, there is too much suffering in the land and this may lead to anarchy. “I know you represent the Head of State. Things are not working well, so talk to the House of Assembly members, governors; you were once a governor, that they should repair our roads and give us good water.”
