Amaechi Alleges Tinubu in Power Grab, Intimidating those He Feels Will Oppose Him

Former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, has made strong allegations against President Bola Tinubu, accusing him of orchestrating a power grab and intimidating governors who may not support his agenda in the 2027 elections.

Amaechi’s comments come amidst heightened political tensions, particularly concerning the situation in Rivers State, where there have been ongoing political conflicts. Amaechi has been very vocal about his views regarding the president’s actions within rivers state.

Amaechi alleges that certain actions taken by the president indicate a deliberate attempt to consolidate power.
He has expressed his views that constitutional laws are being ignored.

He claims that governors who are perceived as not being aligned with the president’s political interests are being subjected to intimidation tactics.
Amaechi has stated that these tactics are being used to influence the 2027 election outcomes.

Much of Amaechi’s concerns stem from the current political climate within the rivers state, and the presidents involvment within it.
Amaechi has expressed that the presidents actions within the state are unconstitutional.
These allegations have the potential to further intensify the political climate in Nigeria, especially as the 2027 elections approach. The statements made by Amaechi have caused many political commentators to begin discussing the state of Nigerian democracy.

It is important to note that these are allegations, and the political climate in Nigeria is complex.

Further developments are expected as these events unfold.
