An aide to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has described former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi as a seasoned politician who knows when to fight hard for his political interests.
The aide made the statement while discussing the political calculations and possible alliances ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
According to him, Amaechi’s political experience and understanding of Nigeria’s political landscape have positioned him as an influential figure in the opposition camp.
He said the former governor had demonstrated resilience throughout his political career and had the capacity to make strategic decisions when necessary.
The aide also spoke about the relationship between Amaechi and Atiku, suggesting that their political experience could contribute to broader opposition efforts ahead of the 2027 elections.
He maintained that political leaders must be prepared to make difficult decisions and negotiate when pursuing their interests.
The aide urged opposition politicians to focus on areas of common interest and avoid disagreements that could weaken their chances at the polls.
He said the 2027 election would require strong political organisation, effective grassroots mobilisation and cooperation among opposition figures.
The comments come amid ongoing political realignments and consultations among opposition leaders ahead of the presidential election.
The aide expressed confidence that experienced politicians such as Amaechi and Atiku could play significant roles in shaping the opposition’s strategy for the 2027 contest.
