There is no end in sight to the controversy trailing former Rivers State governor Rotimi Amaechi’s recent political comments as the Reformed Arewa Youth Council of Nigeria, RAYCN, has accused him and some other opposition politicians of plotting to destabilize President Bola Tinubu’s government.
It would be recalled that, at a conference on strengthening democracy in Nigeria on January, Amaechi said Nigerians must brace up and be willing to make sacrifices if they are to take power from Tinubu.
Amaechi, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who served as Minister of Transportation during the government of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, stressed that Tinubu would not give up power easily, and as a result, the people should be prepared for a struggle.
Responding to the comment, the Presidency, through the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communication, Sunday Dare, accused Amaechi and other critics, including former Kaduna State governor Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, of heating up the polity.
Further reacting to the development at a press briefing in Abuja on Thursday, the Reformed Arewa Youth Council of Nigeria, RAYCN, raised concerns over an alleged plot by Amaechi and former Sokoto State governor Attahiru Bafarawa, to destabilise Tinubu’s administration.
