Presidency Rebukes Amaechi's Insulting Comments on Tinubu
The Presidency has condemned former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi for his statement that only mentally unstable individuals would vote for President Bola Tinubu in the upcoming 2027 presidential election. Amaechi, who is the vice-presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), made these remarks during a town hall meeting in Benin City, Edo State, where he urged residents to reject Tinubu.
He characterized those supporting Tinubu as lacking sound judgment and stated that the election would reveal the number of Nigerians willing to support the President. In response, Temitope Ajayi, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, criticized Amaechi's political relevance, questioning his past electoral performance and labeling him a liability to Atiku Abubakar's campaign.
Ajayi highlighted Amaechi's inability to deliver votes in Rivers State and suggested that his candidacy does not add value to Atiku's ticket.
