Rotimi Amaechi, the former Minister of Transportation, has asserted that President Bola Tinubu is not the primary issue facing Nigeria, emphasizing that the country’s political difficulties stem from the opposition’s weakness.

It was reported earlier that leaders of the opposition parties conducted a press conference in Abuja on Thursday.

The briefing, centered on the theme “Urgent Call to Save Nigeria’s Democracy,” featured prominent opposition leaders.

Amaechi, during his speech at the conference, stated, “Tinubu is not our problem. The problem is the opposition. We are our own problem. When the opposition is ready, Nigeria will change.”

He emphasized that for opposition parties to have a chance at gaining the trust of Nigerians, they needed to make clear distinctions between themselves and the ruling government.

“The first thing we must know is that we must separate ourselves from the government in power. We must show the difference,” Amaechi stated.

Amaechi, reflecting on his tenure in the government under former President Muhammadu Buhari, claimed that electoral reforms were delayed when some ministers convinced Buhari to refrain from signing the bill.

“When I was in government during Buhari’s time, he wanted electoral reform. A few ministers went to him and convinced him not to sign, saying that if he signed, Russia would hack the system and impose the wrong president on us, and he refused to sign,” he said.

He added, “The same people are now shouting electoral reform.”

Amaechi added that the political strategy of President Tinubu is successful due to the vulnerabilities of his opponents.

“His strategy is simple. He’s trying something today, you are weak. He puts something bigger, you are weaker,” he said.

He also raised doubts about what he characterized as the President’s audacity in the face of criticism.

“Which president goes to France when you are shouting that he is stealing our money? He still goes there. He will ask, ‘what will you do?’ You can do nothing,” Amaechi said.

He believes that the opposition must demonstrate its ability to act in order for significant change to occur.

“The day you show him you can do something, God will bless you,” he added.

Leaders from various opposition political parties were present at the joint press conference.
