Two prominent former governors, Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State and Liyel Imoke of Cross River State, have emerged as key figures in the growing anti-Tinubu movement within Nigeria’s political landscape. Their involvement signals a strategic and organized opposition to Bola Tinubu’s dominance in the ruling party.
Amaechi and Imoke have been entrusted with a crucial mandate: to define and shape the platform for the coalition opposing Tinubu. This task involves determining whether the coalition should establish a new political party or merge with an existing one, a decision that could significantly impact the country’s political dynamics ahead of upcoming elections.
Both governors bring considerable political experience and influence, which are expected to galvanize support across various regions and political factions dissatisfied with Tinubu’s leadership. Their leadership in this movement highlights the intensifying political contestation and the realignment of alliances within Nigeria’s ruling elite.
As the anti-Tinubu coalition seeks to consolidate its base and articulate a clear political agenda, all eyes will be on Amaechi and Imoke to see how they navigate the complex political terrain. The outcome of their efforts could reshape Nigeria’s political future and influence the balance of power within the country’s ruling structures.
