How to Stop Tinubu in 2027 – Amaechi
Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has said that the only way to prevent President Bola Tinubu from securing re-election in 2027 is for Nigerians to actively take responsibility for their future, rather than relying on wishful thinking.
Speaking on Thursday during the public presentation of the 2025 Nigeria Social Cohesion Survey Report by the Africa Polling Institute in Abuja, Amaechi argued that real change cannot come from passive complaints at home.
> “The only way you can stop Tinubu from being the president of Nigeria in 2027 is to run an election of Nigerians versus the bandits,” he said.
“If you think you will just sit down and do that, may God be with you.”
Amaechi criticized citizens for quietly grumbling while remaining inactive in the face of elite dominance. He pointed out that while the elites who “are stealing Nigerian money” may not be more than 100,000 people, there are over 200 million Nigerians who could challenge them if they chose to act.
> “They know you are not happy. But you are helpless not because the elites made you helpless, you made yourself helpless,” he added.
To support his point, Amaechi cited countries like Bangladesh, Peru, and Kenya, where mass protests have forced unpopular leaders out of office.
