Why I’m Working With Coalition To Remove Tinubu – Amaechi Reveals, Hints At Future Presidential Ambition

Former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi stated his commitment to the APC but voiced opposition to the current Tinubu administration due to widespread suffering caused by its economic policies. In a BBC interview, Amaechi revealed he's collaborating with other politicians to form a coalition challenging Tinubu in the 2027 election, aiming to "rescue" Nigeria from mismanagement and stagnation. He lamented the severe hunger and insecurity, linking them to the Boko Haram insurgency and other security challenges. Amaechi emphasized the need for change, even within the same party, when the government fails. He noted consultations are focused on steering the country back on track and acknowledged the possibility of contributing meaningfully to the country's future, although not necessarily as a presidential candidate in 2027.
