Former Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, has called on Nigerians to take an active stand in defending their votes and ensuring credible leadership in the 2027 elections.

Speaking during a panel discussion at an event in Abuja on Monday, January 27, Amaechi stated that power is not freely given and must be fought for, warning against complacency in the face of political challenges.

He made reference to the election of Malam Ibrahim Shekarau as governor of Kano State as a case study, where mass mobilization and people’s resistance played a critical role.

“The only way Shekarau became governor of Kano State was because people lined up. When they asked, ‘How many people are there?’ they said, ‘Over 500,000.’ No, I won’t kill over 500,000; announce Shekarau,” he recalled.

Drawing a parallel with Ghana, Amaechi noted that popular resistance also influenced the election of the country’s last president.

“You are talking and abusing people. Nobody has power and will give it to you, not even me. If you want a pastor as president, go and get one.

“The politician is there in Nigeria to steal, maim, and kill to remain in power. If you think Tinubu will give it to you, you are wasting your time,” he stated.

Amaechi also shared insights from his role in leading the APC to unseat the PDP in 2015, citing the resolve of the party’s leaders and their readiness to confront any opposition.

According to him, former President Goodluck Jonathan conceded defeat when he realized the APC was fully prepared to resist any attempt to undermine their victory.

“Power is never given; it must be fought for. If you’re not ready to fight, don’t expect change,” Amaechi said.

Ok

Amaechi dey craze!

Buhari's annointed child should do us a favor and stfu!

See the f**lish man that said that they(politicians) are stealing and no one is stoning them. Nonsense and ingredients cos he's now politically useless

Nigeria is a punching ground for politicians

After selling your own blood brother for fura de nunu , now you are almost obsolete.




Ogbeni keep quiet , bring out your overfed children to lead the way

Wetin this one dey talk

“The politician is there in Nigeria to steal, maim, and kill to remain in power. If you think Tinubu will give it to you, you are wasting your time,”

Nigerians have now seen firsthand that the decision to install a drug lord as president of Nigeria has become the worst decision.

He doesn't mean well.

His quest to grab, snatch, and run away with power was driven solely by selfish interests, not by a desire to improve the lives of the common man. That’s what the 'Emilokan' mantra was all about.

His wicked and draconian policies masquerading as economic reforms have caused immense pain, untold hardships, hunger, and starvation. These policies have affected everyone, irrespective of tribe, religion, or political affiliation.

There are cries of Ebi n pa wa—Nigerians are now being trampled and stampeded over a few grains of rice in different parts of the country.

It has never been this bad.

This man is a mad man! When I remember how this idiot fought Jonathan tooth and nail, I lost respect for Nigeria politicians including tinubu self! All of Una, na Una family Una Dey fight for,any other thing, na Sakamaje !

Tinubu must continue with his reforms.

Amaechi should team up with Malam El-Rufai and lead the struggle

Your children go follow us fight? Make we go fight make police arrest or kill us.... Ameachi and other cowards shouting should come out and lead a protest... After joining to spoil Nigeria with buhari baba dey find person wey go fight now that be is politically displaced.... Mtwww

Na so e be

Peter Obi’s supporters used to abuse this man some years back because of his love for Buhari

Like an open-ended pipe, his words passes in through one ear and quickly exits through the other. The ethnicity of the candidate will always rank first before other characteristics, if at all, when considering who to vote for among the vast majority of Nigerians.

Mad man talking, the one you fought by defeating your kinsman, how did you use it to benefit ordinary your street for whole 8 years?


The last time I checked, the university of Transportation is still functioning in Daura.

The railway Nigeria borrowed billions of dollars to pay till next 40 years, you designed it to favour Niger republic and no single rail passed your own state until you left.

If na me be Ameachi too, I go wail and cry around. E no easy to be without federal government feeding bottle.

Life of a politician…. Just look at this out shouting like a frustrated he-goat. No more milk and honey. The same way Hell rufai is also shouting.

Are you winner or a joker ?

See who dy talk. Aren't you part of them? An idiotic garrulous being. All Nigeria politicians are very greedy, corrupt and selfish including you too.

“Power is never given; it must be fought for. If you’re not ready to fight, don’t expect change,” Amaechi said.

This is what Obi-goats don’t know. They’re still waiting for the party that will come carry presidency ticket come Agulu..

Mumu talk from a Mumu man who was one of the major CHANGE agents in 2015.

Did you not sponsor & finance APC in 2015? Is it because you have been used and dumped by the same APC you founded?

Abeg shift!!

Ofcourse their lives depends on it. How many people have suffered terribly since Tilumbu was rigged in?

Nigerian politicians even the worst evil ones always turn human rights activist whenever they are in the opposition

Stupid man that couldn’t even fight for thesame power in River state.

Bring your children out, let them lead the fight and other Nigerians will follow them.
