The vice-presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, and former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, has charged leaders of the party to go all out in their various states and ensure President Bola Tinubu is not re-elected in the forthcoming presidential election.

He insisted that many of them will be retired from politics if President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is re-elected.

Speaking during the ADC National Women League Conference in Abuja on Wednesday, Amaechi cited how the All Progressives Congress, APC, defeated the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, at the centre in 2015.

He charged the women to go to their states and wards and bring in votes, saying that is the only way ADC will be able to defeat APC.

He said, “If you are not from FCT, go home and campaign. Me, I am going on Wednesday, I will not wear suit, I will dress like a young man. Let me tell you what will happen. We the crop of leaders you see here, if APC wins the 2027 elections, we are retired from politics. So if you don’t want us to retire from politics, we must go home.


“If you bring two thousand votes per ward, don’t win your ward. Just bring two thousand votes, we have won the election. Men are controlled by their wives. Don’t let your husbands sleep, because if we win, you have won. We will not take any election lightly. You will see me in Kebbi, Yola, Rivers, Delta fighting for the governorship elections, because the presidential candidate cannot govern without the governors.”

Amaechi, a former Minister of Transportation, said the APC used women to defeat the PDP.

“When we were in APC and we wanted to remove your government, you saw what we did. We brought out the women. In every state we went to, women were in front. We spoke to them, we met with them at night, and we made sure that we told them that if they did not come out to vote, we would not win. And they came out. We fought the war, and we won.

“That time, Nigeria was not as hungry as it is now. Nigeria could afford some food, right? Now, how many of you can afford the food? How many of you can pay school fees without texting, texting to Dino (Senator Dino Melaye) or somebody else to give you some money for school fees.

“Every week, 10 Nigerians move into poverty. If they tell you how many Nigerians have died, you’ll be shocked. By the time I left government in APC, I’m giving you figures now: 10 and 12 million out-of-school children. Today there are 20 million out-of-school children. That means every day Tinubu is taking 20 million Nigerians, 80 per cent from the North, into poverty.

“If you’re a northerner and you’re sitting here, you shouldn’t even be singing at all. Tinubu is taking you more every day into poverty. The thing you need to do is to take the battle into your hands. If all the women in the North come out to vote, Tinubu cannot announce any result.”


Also speaking, Hajiya Titi Atiku Abubakar told the gathering that the time had come to work for the betterment of Nigeria, charging the women not to be intimidated.

She urged them to go out and convince their friends, neighbours and others to vote for the ADC.

“If you go to the market, you cannot buy anything, even medicine. Yesterday I sent them to buy medicine for me. Medicine that we used to buy for N400 is now N1,000. I couldn’t believe my eyes. So where is the money? And we are in a cashless society, that even all the monies are being taken away.

“People work, the contractors work, they refuse to give them money. Because of ADC, because they don’t want people to support us. We, ADC, don’t have money. Let me tell you, we have to get it by force. We have to get it.

“Most of our children are not in schools because the cost of living is so expensive. So, women, I implore you. Women, I beg you. Don’t let them come and buy you with food. And we have to go to all the corners of this Nigeria, especially to the people in villages,” he said.

The only thing I want to tell all opposition leaders vying for elective positions from President to Governor to Senate to House of Reps is this:


Don't ever hope on Nigerian courts or Supreme Court! Forget about going to court after the result is declared, it's a waste of time and resources, gone are the days those election petition tribunal courts can be trusted to deliver sound judgment.



Do the fighting for the right thing to be done during the voting and hold INEC officials accountable until they announce the real result as voted by the people.


Tell all your polling unit agents and collation center agents to say no to bribery, so enlighten them ahead and support them financially and otherwise to stand their ground.


If possible, every of the main opposition parties should build their own election result server made public before election day and let their polling unit agents snap the result sheets and upload on their party's realtime result viewing server instantly as the polling unit result is announced.


This is the only way to stop INEC from conniving with APC to rig 2027 general election.



Say no to election petition tribunal. It is no longer reliable. They are compromised and should be avoided by all opposition parties. Nigerian courts are now part of APC political party, don't say I didn't warn you all!


Ride on Amaechi

I am happy and glad reality is finally dawning on Rotimi.

He already sees what’s coming?

The Epistles of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) will always quote this part of his lifetime. The year 2027AC, when the Demigod- His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) retired a generation of politicians!

They all have their last shot and defeat is guaranteed for them!

Those after us will learn from same scripture that, somethings are impossible in life, and still be amazed about the life and times of the Demigod.

Ovilikom2:
I can’t stop laughing

So please wait, you have a job like this o 😂

And it’s to defend your “demigod “ abi ?

HacheNoire:
Haven’t you heard or seen the wonders of the Demigod- His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)?

We are not disciples that paint blue as black. The evidences of how far we have gotten to as a nation is open for all to see!

I am not denying the hardship that came along with the U-turn we made, but acknowledge the fact that we had a leader who could enable us all to change direction.

These are not mere human capabilities! It takes a Demigod to achieve such feet!

Ovilikom2:
Ehen is that all demigod said?

HacheNoire:
Many did not believe Christ while on Earth so I am not surprised with your comedy.

Ovilikom2:
I still don’t believe the man banged in the desert by black men of Alllzut is someone people pray to

HacheNoire:
You will need to ask Muslims to verify that!

Lithiumite:
Will be so funny,when your own servers are posting tinubu your adversary coasting home to victory from the get go.......osun readily comes to mind......don't worry ehn,can't wait for you ro start crying irev again come 27.

Atiku in my ward c ifako ijaiye lga,lagos won't get a single vote....even fatima abubakar who had always been his head honcho in the LGA is MIA this period........choke on that.

Obiedun:
Before nkor? I wish you happy retirement in advance.
Count yourself a retired politician.

If Nigerians decide to vote Tinubu back into office, that is very okay by me, so long as the election is free, fair and credible. Not in a situation whereby someone uses power of incumbency like Buhari used for him in 2023 to force him on Nigerians again. If Tinubu must be reelected, let it be through legitimate free and fair election not by wuru wuru like in 2023.


Opposition parties should just prepare very well and have their own server and not wait for INEC but rather force INEC to do the right thing. They should all forget about going to courts that have been compromised and now part of APC, that's all I want them to know. The fight should be at the polls not after result is declared.

Lithiumite:
Tinubu won the last election fare and square,its only in the imaginations of the opposition he didn't, same will repeat itself in 27.

If you are honest to yourself you know that Tinubu did not win.


Peter Obi won Rivers state with over 700k votes, Tinubu did not get up to 10,000 valid votes in Rivers state in 2023, Wike changed the result and declared Tinubu winner.


Peter Obi won Lagos state with 950k votes while Tinubu got 150k and Atiku 105k votes, PDP Lagos situation room coordinator, an Hausa man revealed this recently on Arise TV interview with proof he said he came with, he said they were shocked when results were declared but decided to keep quiet then.


If you subtract these two state votes from Tinubu's votes and add them to Peter Obi's total vote, you should know the result.


You go to Plateau and Benue, same thing happened.


Same happened in Kaduna, Oyo, Ondo, Akwa Ibom, Delta and Borno where Christians voted massively for Peter Obi.


Now you come to our constitution which got bent for Tinubu; FCT is never our 37th state but a neutral sit of power and before you are declared President, you must score at least 25% there cos you are going to be the Governor of Abuja even as President, reason Abuja have no Governor but FCT Minister appointed by the President. But the constitution was bent by Buhari and Supreme Court just to make Tinubu President.



Tinubu never won 2023 President election and God in heaven knows, Tinubu knows, you his core supporters know, and INEC Chairman and Buhari knew too.
