The Digest:
As storms gather ahead of 2027, Rotimi Amaechi has walked away from the APC — not quietly, but with a warning. Speaking during the unveiling of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) interim executive, the former minister framed his exit as more than a political shift. It’s a call to rebuild a broken house. In his words, Nigeria doesn’t just need a new government, it needs a new foundation.
Key points:
- Amaechi confirmed he resigned from the APC on Tuesday night
- He criticised the APC for fostering corruption and dysfunction
- He accused INEC of collaborating with the APC to hijack the 2027 polls
- He rejected invitations to party meetings, warning them formally
- Amaechi insists the solution lies in starting a people-powered movement
- He described the current hardship as “everything is gone, people can’t eat.”
- He joined the ADC at the unveiling of its interim national executive
We Rise When the Old Walls Fall: In his sharpest break yet from the establishment, Amaechi is not just walking out, he’s calling for Nigerians to rise. If his words resonate, 2027 may not be about parties but about people.
