Amaechi Knows When To Be Selfish And When To Sheath His Sword – Atiku’s Aide

The Senior Political Assistant to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Demola Olarewaju, said the party’s running mate, Rotimi Amaechi, is a statesman who understands the game of politics.

He asserted that Amaechi knows when to fight hard and when to sheath his sword.

Naija News reports that the aide shared his thoughts in a post via his 𝕏 account.

Olarewaju said Amaechi knows when to put aside his personal interests for the larger agenda of removing President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

He wrote: “Rotimi Amaechi is a statesman who knows when to fight hard and when to sheathe swords; when to be selfish and when to subsume personal interest for a larger agenda of kicking Tinubu out.

“Some people are only useful to themselves, and therefore useless to society and a coalition.”

Meanwhile, former Chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State, Samuel Okechukwu Nwanosike, popularly known as Ishi Nwanosike, has threatened the African Democratic Congress (ADC) vice presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, ahead of the 2027 election.

Naija News reports that Nwanosike, a loyalist of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, in a video making the rounds online, said it will be difficult for Amaechi to win the forthcoming general election in Rivers State.

Nwanosike claimed that the people of Ikwerre had derived little benefit from Amaechi despite the former governor having occupied several political positions over the past two decades.

According to him, the political battle ahead of the 2027 elections in Rivers State would go beyond the streets, warning that the contest would be taken to the former governor’s bedroom.

He said, “Amaechi was in the House of Assembly two times, Ikwerre people supported him to be governor two times, and he was a minister for two tenures.

“Instead of helping the Ikwerre people, he decided to destroy even his friends. Yet he believes that it’s only him that is from the Ikwerre Local Government.

“We are here to tell the world and his political faction that until the Supreme Court decides which faction of the ADC is to be recognized by INEC, they should not bother coming home. E go red.

“We will bring the battle to their bedroom not the street.”
