Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has dismissed the presidential ambitions of former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, describing them as futile.
Responding to Amaechi’s recent claim that he knows President Bola Tinubu’s weaknesses, Wike said the former minister’s presidential aspiration is “dead on arrival.”
Speaking during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Nyesom Wike added that Amaechi is well aware he has no chance of securing the presidential ticket of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Amaechi is currently a member of the ADC, and there are rumours that he intends to run for the presidency in 2027.
However, Nyesom Wike said: “He (Amaechi) knows he won’t get the ticket. I read that he said he knows the weaknesses of the president, so he knows how to defeat him, but he also knew the weaknesses of the president in 2022 when the president defeated him mercilessly in the primary.
“Nigerians know the last person they will give a ticket to because they know it (Amaechi’s bid) is dead on arrival.”
