“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 businessman Isaac Fayose pleads with the government and President Tinubu that the minimum wage needs to be increased.
He shared that the current minimum wage of ₦70,000 is not enough considering the current state of the country and urged the government to increase it to ₦200,000.
“President Tinubu, have mercy on our people and increase the minimum wage to ₦200,000 now. I don’t think anyone can survive on the current ₦70,000 minimum wage. ₦70,000 is nothing. If we don’t solve the minimum wage problem, we can’t solve crime.”
Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has faced backlash after suggesting that opposition figures, including Peter Obi, could contribute to President Tinubu’s chances of re-election if opposition votes remain divided.
He stated “If Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, blame Peter Obi and the other contractor-general. With all the insecurity and kidnapping in the country, they are the ones aggressively working for his second term by ensuring opposition votes are divided like they did in 2023.”
His comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, who argued that Peter Obi is not the only opposition figure and should not be solely blamed for political divisions.
Nigeria’s Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, has expressed confidence that the northern region will support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the next election.
According to Matawalle, the administration has delivered major infrastructure projects and development initiatives across the region.
“For us in the North, our votes for the APC and President Tinubu will show clearly that we appreciate what he’s doing for the region.”
He added “If you see the dualisation of the Abuja–Kaduna, Zaria–Sokoto, and Ilela–Badagry expressways, you will agree with me that the North is experiencing key projects it never had in the past, even when a northerner was president.”
