Ex-Minister of Transportation and two-time Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, has urged the coalition opposition to kick President Bola Tinubu out of office as soon as possible. He recently revealed that snatching power away from BAT is the only way for Nigeria to escape its deepening economic problems.
Speaking during an interview with the BBC, Amaechi, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, highlighted Nigeria’s deteriorating condition and expressed his readiness to help form a new opposition coalition to rescue the nation.
He stated that Nigerians are constantly starving and dying nowadays, stressing that life under President Tinubu’s government has been far from comfortable.
Emphasising that being in the same party as Tinubu will not stop him from telling the truth, Amaechi said that his loyalty to the APC will never come at the cost of his national conscience.
According to him, if the government is clearly failing its people, it is only right for him to come out to speak on behalf of Nigerians who are living miserably with no sign of a bright future.
“People are dying. People are starving. I myself am feeling the effects of hunger.
If the government is failing the country, you don’t just go along because you’re in the same party. You know that’s not right,” he said.

The APC chieftain further noted that while he cannot confirm that he’ll run for President in 2027, the option is still very much on the table.
Rotimi concluded by saying that he believes he can still make a meaningful political impact to turn the situation of the country around.
“Certainly, I believe I can make a meaningful contribution,” he added.
