The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has dismissed former Rivers State governor Rotimi Amaechi’s call for Nigerians to rally against President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
The party reacted after Amaechi said Tinubu could be beaten and urged people to “mobilise.” In a statement on Wednesday, Mogaji Seye Oladejo, the Lagos APC spokesman, described Amaechi’s remarks as “well-deserved contempt,” and “political hallucination.”
Oladejo went on to portray Amaechi as politically isolated at home and lacking influence nationally. He said the former minister has lost his structures and supporters in Rivers State and can no longer be taken seriously in local politics. He added, “Amaechi is free to dream, but he must stop mistaking his nightmares for national reality.”
Questioning whom Amaechi expects to lead, Oladejo asked if the mobilisation he refers to involves the few followers left in his messaging groups or the politicians who left him after the presidential primaries. He argued that a leader cannot claim to organise the nation when he no longer commands support in his own state, noting ‘You cannot lead a national movement when your own backyard has padlocked the gate against you.”
