Tinubu's Old Video Praises Amaechi as Eagle Ahead of 2027 Election

Ahead of the 2027 election, an old video resurfaced showing President Bola Tinubu praising former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi, calling him "an eagle, not a chicken." The video, where Tinubu commended Amaechi's leadership during his tenure as Rivers State governor, sparked renewed political interest. Amaechi has declared his intention to run for president in 2027.

The video drew reactions from various political figures, including former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, who urged both Tinubu and Amaechi to focus on making meaningful changes rather than making commitments. Amaechi is a key member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition platform.
