Amaechi: I'll leave my wife if she governs like Tinubu

ADC presidential running mate Rotimi Amaechi told Rapid TV today he would leave his wife Judith if she became president and governed like Bola Tinubu. "Right now, the person I'm closest to is my wife, not my kids. So, if my wife becomes president and starts doing the same things Tinubu is doing, I'll be upset and won't follow her, even though I love her. It's either she changes, or I leave her," Amaechi said.

He urged Nigerians to judge Tinubu's record objectively and not let religion, ethnicity, or personal loyalty influence their 2027 vote. "Just forget about Tinubu," he added, framing the ADC as the untested alternative: "They've been tested, so you know the next four years will be tough. We haven't been tested yet, so give us a chance."

The remark personalizes opposition criticism of Tinubu's economic policies—fuel subsidy removal, naira float, and rising inflation—without detailing specific ADC alternatives. Amaechi's wife is not a declared candidate.

As 2027 campaigns heat up, will the opposition's "give us a chance" argument outweigh incumbency advantages, or do voters want concrete policy alternatives before switching allegiance?
