Tinubu: Lunatic can never preside over Nigeria - Wike attacks Amaechi
Wike said Amaechi’s comments were inflammatory and urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to enforce campaign rules as he cited a $39 million project and other alleged waste.
- On Thursday in Benin City, African Democratic Congress vice-presidential candidate Rotimi Amaechi claimed that "only thieves and mad people" would vote for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
- Reacting on Friday in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike denounced the comments as "irresponsible and inciting," labeling Amaechi a "bloody thief" and "lunatic."
- Wike warned that Amaechi will face "severe resistance" in Rivers State if he continues attacking the President, citing abandoned projects including the $39 million Justice Karibi-Whyte Hospital and an N68 billion monorail.
- Demanding accountability, Wike insisted that Independent National Electoral Commission sanction Amaechi for inflammatory rhetoric, arguing political campaigns must prioritize policy over personal attacks.
- Meanwhile, Isaac Fayose, brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, posted a video on Friday urging Nigerians to vote President Tinubu out as the country counts 97 days to the 2027 election.
