Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-7\">Amaechi, who served as governor of Rivers State and was a key figure in the APC-led government, made the revelation on Wednesday in Abuja.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-8\">Speaking after the unveiling of the interim executive of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Amaechi said he formally quit the party on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-9\">\u201cI left APC last night. I never attended one meeting, last time they invited me I warned them I said, if you invite me to any meeting anymore\u2026 In fact, I was surprised that I wasn\u2019t even expelled because I warned them in writing, don\u2019t even invite me to any meeting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-9\">&#8220;You can\u2019t be in a club where majority of people are stealing and you don\u2019t say anything,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-10\">Amaechi said the country was in a state of total collapse and required more than just a government change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-11\">\u201cNo, it\u2019s not about changing the government, if it is about changing the government, there is no need of changing the government, it\u2019s about changing Nigeria,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-12\">He accused the APC and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, of attempting to hijack the 2027 elections.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-13\">\u201cNigeria is completely destroyed. People can\u2019t eat. People can\u2019t buy food. There\u2019s no money to buy food.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-13\">Everything is gone. Inflation is at its peak. And the federal government is busy going around trying to hijack the election. INEC is helping them to hijack the election,\u201d Amaechi alleged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-14\">He said what Nigeria needs now is not just a political party, but a national movement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-15\">\u201cNo, no, no. What must happen here is that we must start not just a party, but a movement, it must be a movement that brings in Nigerians to on their own take over government, not us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-16\">When asked why he refused to support the current administration despite serving under it, Amaechi said he had never believed President Bola Tinubu was fit to lead Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-17\">\u201cI have never believed that Tinubu is a material to govern the country, I have never, because now, people want (Muhammadu) Buhari to come back,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-18\">He stated that worsening conditions under Tinubu\u2019s watch had made Buhari\u2019s government appear better in retrospect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-19\">\u201cPeople are asking for Buhari because things were better during Buhari\u2019s administration. Dollar was I think \u20a6460 or five hundred and something now a dollar is one thousand five hundred and eighty, that is more than one hundred percent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-20\">Reacting to suggestions that the exchange rate might be a deliberate policy, he dismissed such logic as anti-people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-21\">He said: \u201cWhether it\u2019s a deliberate government policy or not, any government that does not take into consideration the people you are governing is not a policy. President Tinubu said he is not here to make Nigerians happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-22\">When asked if his comments stemmed from personal ambition, Amaechi said he was entitled to aspire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-23\">\u201cI have the right to be ambitious, I am not over ambitious,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amaechi accused INEC of aiding APC to hijack the electoral process ahead of 2027 general elections.
