“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.
Nigerian singer Seun Kuti causes a stir among the public after his comparison of activist Omoyele Sowore to Peter Obi.
Speaking in a live video, the singer shared his thoughts and stated that Omoyele Sowore is better at politics than Peter Obi. He explained how Sowore has done many works and brought justice like no Nigerian politician ever will.
He then compares the activist to Peter Obi, stating that Sowore is indeed better. Fans reacted to his statement, and many shared their insights on this matter.
Veteran Nollywood actor Kenneth Okonkwo has opened up about what he calls a betrayal by Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party. In a recent interview with Symfoni, Okonkwo revealed that his decision to quit the party earlier in February 2025 was influenced by Obi’s actions during a leadership crisis within the party.
Okonkwo, who once served as a spokesperson for Obi’s presidential campaign, said the former Anambra State governor ignored his counsel and returned to support the Julius Abure-led faction—despite ongoing controversies surrounding that group. He explained that Obi was misinformed by party executives who claimed that the Abure-led camp had been recognised by INEC. But in his view, Obi’s move went against everything he had previously stood for.
“Any serious politician knows how not to be misled,” Okonkwo said. “But in this case, it was Obi who betrayed me. I warned him—these people are not democratic. INEC recognition isn’t enough reason to return to a group that goes against the values you publicly uphold. If you align with them again, you risk your political credibility and everything you’ve worked for.”
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has promised to keep unsettling those who oppose President Bola Tinubu by continuing to deliver impactful projects across Abuja. Speaking at the commissioning of key roads including the Arterial Road N16 and other projects in the Katampe district, Wike said he now fully understands how much resentment some people have for the President’s achievements since taking office in 2023.
According to Wike, a recent moment while watching TV opened his eyes to how deeply some critics are affected by Tinubu’s progress. “Something just moved me to switch on the TV, and I saw the anger and pain on people’s faces,” Wike said. “Now I get it—some people are really hurting. So I’ve taken it upon myself to increase their blood pressure with more good work.”
He added that while critics stay bitter, he and others will keep enjoying the results of their efforts. “We’ll be smiling, moving around freely, while they stay mad and frustrated. That’s my new mission,” he said. Wike thanked President Tinubu for leading what he described as a development revolution in the FCT.
