Former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi has said that President Bola Tinubu can only be removed from power in 2027 if Nigerians take their fate into their own hands.
Amaechi stated this at the launch of the 2025 Nigeria Social Cohesion Survey Report by the Africa Polling Institute in Abuja, insisting that Nigerians cannot achieve meaningful change through wishful thinking.
“The only way you can stop Tinubu from being the president of Nigeria in 2027 is to run an election of Nigerians versus the bandits,” Amaechi said.
He added, “If you think you will just sit down and do that, may God be with you.”
Amaechi also criticized Nigerians for grumbling in private while remaining passive in the face of elite domination.
“They know you are not happy. But you are helpless not because the elites made you helpless, you made yourself helpless,” he noted.
Truth Live News recalls that Amaechi, who recently resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC), was present at an event where the opposition coalition formally adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Abuja.
The ADC-led coalition has garnered attention, with prominent figures like former Vice President Atiku Abubakar joining the party.
Truth Live News gathered that the Africa Polling Institute’s survey showed that 83% of Nigerians have little to no trust in the Tinubu government, while 80% distrust the National Assembly, and 79% distrust the judiciary.
