Atiku Abubakar’s Senior Political Assistant to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Candidate, Demola Olarewaju, said that the party’s running mate, Rotimi Amaechi, is a statesman who understands the game of politics.
He said Amaechi knows when to fight and when to sheathe his sword.
The aide posted his thoughts via his 𝕏 account, it was reported.
Amaechi knows when to bury his personal interest for the bigger goal of dislodging President Bola Tinubu in 2027, Olarewaju said.
“He 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 for themselves, thus useless for society and a coalition.”
Meanwhile, the 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) vise presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi ahead of 2027 election.
In a video circulating online, Nwanosike, a loyalist of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, said it will be difficult for Amaechi to win the forthcoming general election in Rivers State, Naija News reports.
Nwanosike said that despite occupying several political offices for the last two decades, the people of Ikwerre have not benefited much from Amaechi.
He said 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 twice, the Ikwerre people supported him to become governor twice, and he was a minister for two tenures.
He would rather kill his friends than help the Ikwerre people. But he thinks that it’s just 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 better.
“We will take the battle to their bedroom not the street.”
