Oshiomhole calls Amaechi 'confused' for flip-flopping on APC, Tinubu
Edo North Senator Adams Oshiomhole attacked ADC vice presidential candidate Rotimi Amaechi during a TVC interview Wednesday, accusing him of contradicting his past political positions. Oshiomhole, a former Edo governor and APC national chairman, said Amaechi once praised the APC and President Bola Tinubu but now criticizes the same party and government he served.
"Amaechi is contradicting his past positions. He has lost direction politically," Oshiomhole said, describing him as a politician who changes stance based on personal benefit. He argued Amaechi's record as transport minister and Rivers governor doesn't give him moral ground to attack the current administration, and urged Nigerians to disregard his criticism.
The clash highlights growing tensions ahead of 2027 as opposition figures reposition. Amaechi, a founding APC member who served in Buhari's cabinet, joined ADC recently. Oshiomhole remains a key Tinubu ally. Both men have governed major states and held federal office, making their public feud a test of political credibility for voters assessing consistency versus opportunism.
When politicians who built the current system turn against it, do you weigh their insider knowledge against their timing, or dismiss it as election-season positioning?
