APC chieftain Eze Chukwuemeka tells Tinubu to forget 2027 re-election bid, hails opposition figures for forming alliance to rescue Nigeria from misrule

In a strongly worded statement, Eze said the damage allegedly inflicted on Nigeria by Bola Tinubu’s administration was enough to disqualify him from contesting again.
Eze, a former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct nPDP and a member of the APC Legacy Media Team, commended key opposition figures for uniting to salvage Nigeria.
Among those he praised were former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s Peter Obi, ex-Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi, former Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai, former Senate President David Mark, and Dr Umar Ardo.
Their reported alliance, he said, represents a glimmer of hope for Nigerians tired of misrule. “May I therefore on behalf of myself and family congratulate Atiku Abubakar, Amaechi, Peter Obi, Umar Ardo, David Mark, Nasir El-Rufai and all those that made this mission to salvage our dear nation possible,” Eze stated.
The emerging coalition, said to be championed by the Nigerian National Coalition Group, has already applied to register a new political platform — the All Democratic Party, ADA — with the Independent National Electoral Commission. Akin Ricketts and Abdullahi Elayo are listed as protem National Chairman and Secretary respectively.
Eze described the Tinubu presidency as a period marked by unprecedented hardship, insecurity, and national embarrassment. He accused the administration of fostering “bloodletting, kidnapping, misery, abject poverty, and devastating hunger,” adding that it had turned Nigeria into an object of ridicule before the international community.
According to him, those forming the new alliance are not just opposition figures but “caring, patriotic, eminent and grassroots-oriented leaders” who are committed to redeeming the nation from failed leadership. “God will surely answer our collective prayers in our drive to salvage and liberate this country,” he said.
The APC chieftain concluded by urging Tinubu to prepare to vacate office. “President Tinubu can now start packing his luggages for his much-anticipated movement back to his Bourdillon Home after all the colossal damages he has committed,” Eze asserted.

The remarks underscore growing discontent within even Tinubu’s own party and add momentum to talks of a broad opposition coalition aimed at toppling the APC in 2027.
A group, the Imo First Group (IFG) has described the purported Magistrate court order to arrest Senator Ifeanyi Araraume and the former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, over alleged criminal conspiracy and forgery, as a ruse and fake news
The group stated this in a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja.
IFG challenged those peddling the fake news to make the court order public.
The statement reads ” The fabricated and concocted story was first posted on social media by Hon. Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, a media aide to Governor Hope Uzodimma, before it was picked up by other media outfits, including Arise TV.
According to the statement, those behind the report claimed that a Senior Magistrate Court sitting in Abuja issued a Bench Warrant dated September 9, 2026, following a petition written by the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Imo State, Barr. Chukwuemeka Ibejiako, to the Police and DSS on October 8, 2026, over alleged presentation of fake APC primary results.
The Group debunked the existence of any such order.
“We want to state categorically and unequivocally that no jSenior Magistrate ordered or issued any bench warrant for the arrest of Araraume”
IFG however challenged anyone in possession of the purported court order to publish it.
“If you claim to have a court order present same for the public to see,
“This fabricated bench warrant contain in the report is filled with inconsistencies, the bench warrant was dated September 9, 2026, while the REC’s petition that supposedly triggered it was dated October 8, 2026, with case number CR/M/084/2026.
The statement further stated that the purveyors and harbinger of the fake news tried to trick the magistrate via exparte order but was rebuked
“The magistrate bluntly refused to grant their exparte and threatened to arrest them, yet they carried their falsehood about. What’s the problem of occupants of office that never won free and fair elections and tried to destroy reputable Imo sons that have won elections. We challenge anyone in this macabre surugede dance to show the court order or warrant of arrest. It’s preposterous to blackmail decent Imo sons on the altar of dirty politics.”
