Amaechi receives PDP delegation, renews call for opposition cooperation
Vice-presidential candidate of the ADC Rotimi Amaechi has called on opposition parties to work together ahead of the 2027 general election, saying unity is the only way to defeat the ruling APC.
Amaechi made the appeal while receiving a faction of the PDP led by Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, who paid him a condolence visit following the death of his mother, Dame Ezinne Mary Amaechi.
He urged opposition leaders to set aside their differences and form a common front, warning that division would make it easier for the APC to remain in power.
According to him, opposition parties should continue working together as the election approaches and put the interests of Nigerians above personal political ambitions.
He stressed that a divided opposition would struggle to challenge the APC at the polls.
Amaechi also spoke about the role his late mother played in his life, describing her dedication and sacrifices as key to his upbringing.
Speaking during the visit, Turaki expressed sympathy to Amaechi and his family over the loss.
“Nothing prepares anybody for the loss of a parent, especially a mother. So, we can only imagine the deep loss and grief that you and your family are going through,” he said.
He also recalled Amaechi’s years in the PDP, adding, “As a party on whose platform you served the good people of Rivers State as Speaker and later as governor, we share in your grief and encourage you to be strong, knowing the certainty of death and its role as a window to immortality.”

A Chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Buba Galadima, has said that Nigerians must come together and vote out president Bola Tinubu.
This was as he alleged that Tinubu is making things difficult for other political parties to produce candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He spoke during the inauguration of the NDC National Reconciliation Committee set up to resolve post-primary election disputes ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He further stated that the Electoral Act was designed and perfected by President Tinubu even before it was taken to the National Assembly.
“Tinubu is only protecting himself and the APC and making it difficult for other parties to produce candidates.
“The president is not thinking of a contest with anybody, but we won’t allow it. Even if it’s an empty coffin, all Nigerians must come together and throw him out for the sake of this country,” he said.

A chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Buba Galadima, has disclosed why Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, does not want to join the NDC ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking at the inauguration of the reconciliation committee of the NDC, Galadima said the governor was advised not to move to a party with a strong presidential candidate.
He, however, said the governor is sitting on the political fence, stressing that he may work for the NDC or President Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
“President Tinubu has 34 and a half governors. The only governor that is not with him is Seyi Makinde of Oyo State. Alex Otti of Abia State is there. Forget about that.
“The half is Governor Bala Mohammed. We met with him until 3am, and he was supposed to defect the next day, but he called us in the morning saying he has changed his mind because he was advised not to move to a party with a strong presidential candidate.
“Bala Mohammed is on the fence. He may work with us, or he may work with President Tinubu,” he said.
