Former Rivers Governor Rotimi Amaechi says he and Sule Lamido would’ve challenged the current political events in Nigeria if they were still in office.
  • Amaechi spoke at Lamido’s autobiography launch, reflecting on their joint legacy as reform-minded governors.
  • He questioned the silence of current leaders over political developments under President Tinubu.
  • Amaechi praised their past willingness to confront power, saying today's issues wouldn’t have gone unchecked

During the Abuja event, Amaechi addressed Lamido directly, lamenting how Nigeria’s political standards have shifted. He recalled their bold stance as former governors and expressed disappointment that current officeholders appear less confrontational.

As Nigeria navigates governance challenges, what can today’s political class learn from past leaders who pushed for reform and accountability?
