Former Minister of Transportation and prominent African Democratic Congress (ADC) figure, Rotimi Amaechi, has rejected claims that President Bola Tinubu is responsible for the challenges facing opposition parties in Nigeria.

Speaking at a public lecture whose video circulated widely on Friday, Amaechi stated that the true problem lies within the opposition itself, insisting that Tinubu is not invincible.

He argued that opposition parties have become preoccupied with regional and ethnic power struggles rather than focusing on governance, accountability, and national development.

According to Amaechi:
“Tinubu isn’t invincible; the opposition is the problem. I don’t see him as unstoppable. The real issue is the opposition.

“I tell opposition parties all the time—you are the problem. Instead of asking, ‘Things are bad, how do we fix them? Should we change the candidate? Should the next president serve one term or more?’ all we discuss is power rotation and political positioning.

“So while the elites are busy strategising on how to gain power, the citizens are unknowingly helping them achieve that goal.”

Amaechi also disclosed that he has been engaging in consultations with political figures ahead of the 2027 elections.

“If you speak to those who have met with me, they will confirm that I have been holding discussions and exploring strategies for winning the 2027 election,” he added.
