During the unveiling of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) interim executive, Amaechi described Nigeria as “completely destroyed,” citing soaring inflation, food insecurity, and economic collapse.
Tinubu Under Fire: Leadership Critique
Amaechi openly criticized President Bola Tinubu, saying he never believed Tinubu was fit to govern. He compared current conditions to the Buhari era, noting the naira’s dramatic fall from ₦460 to ₦1,580 per dollar.
From Party Politics to a Citizen-Led Movement
Rather than simply switching parties, Amaechi called for a grassroots movement to reclaim governance. He emphasized that Nigeria’s problems go beyond party lines and require systemic change.

Amaechi’s departure and criticism of the APC and INEC could reshape opposition dynamics ahead of the 2027 elections. His call for reform may inspire new political alliances and citizen activism.
