In the 2027 elections, former Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi is not likely to receive the presidential ticket of the opposition coalition led by the African Democratic Congress (ADC), according to Sumner Sambo, Director of News and Politics Editor at Arise Television.

Sambo said this on Monday during an episode of Arise Television’s “The Morning Show.”

Amaechi’s latest remarks, he said, are a political diversion, and the ADC is trying to mislead the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

He asserts that in 2027, President Bola Tinubu’s abilities as a great political strategist in Nigeria will be put to the test.

“So in my own thinking, I think they’ve started playing a game against Tinubu, a chess game that Tinubu himself may be confused if he’s not careful, because what I see here are people who have devised several tendencies to obfuscate the realities that Tinubu and his team may actually be planning towards at the moment.

“So I think that Rotimi Amaechi is being sent by certain people within the ADC to distract him. If you look at the strategies ongoing right now, you will see that it is not really clear exactly who may likely get the ADC ticket, not because you cannot make the calculations, but because, I think that these ADC leaders have all agreed to bring in place certain techniques that they will use to confuse the APC election planning committee ahead of the 2027, elections.

“So here’s Amaechi, whose highest political capacity has been the Director General of the Buhari/Osinbajo campaign in 2014 and 2019 coming to say that he would defeat Tinubu.

“It’s not going to be easy. It’s not really, really going to be easy, because Tinubu himself has a whole chunk of people who believe in his capacity in the APC, and you will understand that if it comes to the issues of obtaining ticket, Tinubu has a strategy that is very difficult to defeat,” he said.
