2027: Why Tinubu May Not Seek Re-Election – APC Chieftain
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu may not even contest the 2027 presidential election.
Eze, a close ally to former Governor, Chibuike Amaechi, said the 2027 election would come with a lot of surprises, especially if the USA releases the alleged file on Mr President.
He also said that the ex-Transport Minister is the right candidate to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
Eze said that Nigerians are reaching out to him to enquire on a daily basis about the political interest and direction of Amaechi, ahead of 2027, particularly his ambition to lead the country.
Eze, in a statement made available to the media, said Nigerians reach out to him on the same subject, “whether Amaechi is ready to run for President in 2027” or “whether Amaechi has interest for 2027” or “ what is the political direction of Amaechi for 2027”, and the likes.
“2027 will be full of surprises, Tinubu may not be in position to even stand the election he plans to manipulate if the USA lives to her billing and releases the alleged file on Mr. President.
“Ordinarily, the failure of his government which stares us all on our faces inhibits the president to think of reelection,” he added.
“A government whose focus is to manipulate the process to retain power in 2027, has failed.
“The wobbling economy, hunger and starvation, insecurity and violent killings and other heinous crimes perpetrated in daily basis should give any responsible government a sense of concern.
“But despite the mounting challenges, the presidency is plotting to retain power by all means. That is not how leadership works. It is not democracy.
“So, Nigeria needs direction, and it is understandable why people are calling on Amaechi to take action.”
He said, “Of a fact, Amaechi remains a pride to Nigeria, and his public service records make him an ideal Presidential material, and Nigerians quite understand that.
“The likes of Amaechi are needed in the scene in order to assuage the suffering and rescue Nigeria from her present precarious State. Amaechi would sacrifice anything to make Nigeria work.”
