If you aren’t tired, I’m tired of Tinubu , says Chibuike Amaechi
* Vows to uproot president in 2027
By Steve Oko
Late President Muhammadu Buhari’s ally and 2023 presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has declared that he is tired of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who he said had failed woefully.
The former Transport Minister who ditched the ruling APC for the coalition African Democratic Congress, ADC, few weeks ago, vowed to join forces with other coalition figures to uproot President Tinubu in 2027.
Amaechi who addressed a mammoth crowd of supporters who came to welcome him Wednesday at the Port Harcourt International Airport, expressed disappointment over Tinubu who he described as a failure.
Accusing Tinubu of inflicting hardship on Nigerians, Amaechi urged Nigerians to register with the ADC, which he said, “has come to challenge and replace the current administration that has inflicted “unprecedented hardship” on citizens.
He said:“If you are not tired of President Tinubu, I’m tired of President Tinubu. If you’re not hungry, I’m hungry.
“If the rich are spending ₦4 million monthly on electricity, only God knows how the poor are surviving. And the President says he doesn’t care. The ADC is here to care.”
Amaechi further carpeted President Tinubu for the President’s alleged indifference to the suffering of Nigerians
The former Rivers’ Governor vowed not to associate with anyone who rigs elections or announces doctored results.
“This coming is to reassure our supporters and Rivers people that there is a new party in town. Every Rivers man who loves this state and country should register with the ADC and help end the hunger,” he said.
In an apparent show of strength, Amaechi trekked approximately three kilometers through the streets of Port Harcourt to his residence in Old GRA, a move believed to be a subtle challenge to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike’s political hold on the state.
Amaechi who described Rivers State as “notorious for writing election results and declaring winners,” warned his supporters against collaborating with electoral manipulators.
Accusing Tinubu of bringing hopelessness, Amaechi said ADC had come to restore hope to Nigerians.
Wawa News Global recalls that Amaechi was one of the major financers of the APC in 2015, and played key role in stopping former President Goodluck Jonathan’s second term bid.
He later fell out with the incumbent President after serving eight years as Minister for Transport under the late President Buhari .
