Lagos APC Laughs Off Amaechi’s Bold Talk—Says He Can’t Touch Tinubu

It’s politics, so there’s always drama. This time, it’s Rotimi Amaechi in the spotlight. He says he can beat President Tinubu in 2027. If only he gets the ADC ticket. Big claim, right?

Lagos APC? They’re not buying it. Not even a little. On Saturday, the party fired back. Called Amaechi’s words “desperate.” Said he’s just looking for attention. “He doesn’t have the network. Or the support. Or the pedigree,” they said. Ouch.

They didn’t stop there. “How’s he gonna unseat a president who’s got a clear mandate? And on a party like ADC? Come on, let’s be serious,” the statement read. You could almost hear the laughter.

They even brought up old wounds. Reminded everyone that Amaechi couldn’t even win his own polling unit last time. “He talks about knowing Tinubu’s weaknesses, but really, it just sounds like sour grapes,” one APC member said.

The party painted a picture. Tinubu, the builder. The leader. The man with a track record. Amaechi? They called his career messy. Full of fights, flip-flops, and chasing his own interests.

Politics in Nigeria? Never boring. And with 2027 on the horizon, the words are already flying.
