“Tinubu May Not Contest in 2027” – APC Chieftain Says
A top APC chieftain in Rivers State and close associate of former governor Rotimi Amaechi, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu may not even be in the race for the 2027 presidential election. Eze hinted that major twists could shake up the 2027 polls, especially if the United States decides to release a reported file on the President. He also believes that Amaechi is the best man to challenge Tinubu should the President choose to run.
According to Eze, many Nigerians are already reaching out to him regularly, eager to know Amaechi’s political plans and if he will throw his hat into the ring for 2027. In his words, the questions keep coming: “Is Amaechi running?”, “Does he have interest?”, “What is his direction for 2027?”
Eze, who once served as National Publicity Secretary of the now-defunct nPDP, said these concerns reflect growing dissatisfaction with the current government, which he accuses of focusing more on clinging to power than fixing the country’s deep-rooted problems.
“A government that is obsessed with staying in power despite widespread hunger, economic hardship, insecurity, and daily killings has clearly lost touch with the people,” he said. “That’s not leadership.
That’s not democracy.”
He said it’s no surprise that Nigerians are looking toward Amaechi, whom he described as a symbol of hope and competence. “Amaechi has the experience, the courage, and the track record,” Eze stated. “If anyone can help steer Nigeria out of this mess, it’s him. He’s always ready to put the country first.”
Additionally, Eze noted that 2027 might take everyone by surprise, and Tinubu may not even make it to the ballot if the alleged U.S. file sees the light of day. “With the way things are going, the failures of this administration alone should be enough to make any talk of re-election a non-starter,” he concluded.
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the outcome of the 2027 general elections will be based on the performance of candidates, not defections.
The party stressed that defections alone do not win elections, noting that credibility, leadership, and results matter more. This was said in response to comments credited to former governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The APC also dismissed claims that the opposition’s performance in Lagos weakened the party, pointing out that voters later reaffirmed their support by re-electing the APC in the governorship election and subsequent polls.
Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has spoken on the allegation that terrorism and the increase in insecurity are linked to his administration in the state.
The governor then said “This is a country where when you work, you become a villain. I have kept quiet for too long for peace and security. But I am not a coward. I will not join them. I refuse to join their party,” he stated.
“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”
Media personality Dele Momodu reacts and shares his thoughts regarding First Lady Remi Tinubu interrupting the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, during a recent event.
The event was the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. In the scene, while Governor Adeleke was giving a speech, he began with a worship song. But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.
Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.
