The former governor of Rivers State criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration, saying Nigerians were dissatisfied with his leadership style and policies. He argued that hardship persisted nationwide, noting that Tinubu’s appointments excluded many groups, even among his Yoruba supporters.
Amaechi dismissed suggestions of stepping aside, stressing that every aspirant had the right to contest, strengthening Nigeria’s internal party democracy. He maintained confidence in his candidacy, declaring that his leadership vision offers unity across Nigeria’s diverse regions and political divides.
Addressing concerns about Rivers politics, Amaechi rejected claims that his influence had diminished under Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike. He pointed to massive grassroots support during his recent ADC event in Rivers, highlighting citizens’ enthusiasm without financial inducements.
Political observers believe his ambition might reshape opposition politics, as the African Democratic Congress continues positioning itself as Nigeria’s third-force alternative. Analysts note that his 2027 declaration could significantly influence national debates, especially against APC dominance and PDP’s lingering crisis (BBC News).
