The Ohanaeze Ndigbo has strongly condemned the recent comments made by former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, calling for the use of force to take power from Chief Bola Tinubu.
In a statement released by the group’s President-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Ohanaeze Ndigbo declared its unwavering support for Tinubu and his administration.
Isiguzoro described Amaechi’s remarks as a direct threat to Nigeria’s democracy, warning that such statements could disturb the peace and civility that the country currently enjoys.
He further criticized Amaechi for suggesting that politicians should resort to violent tactics like stealing, maiming, and killing to retain power, calling it a dangerous and irresponsible claim.
“Amaechi’s equally disconcerting assertion that politicians must be willing to ‘steal, maim, and kill’ to retain power not only diminishes the dignity of our political discourse but also poses a dire threat to the very fabric of our society.
He stated, “We condemn in the strongest possible terms the reckless and incendiary comments made by Chibuike Amaechi against Bola Ahmed Tinubu
“It is essential to declare firmly that the Ndigbo will never endorse any political conspiracy aimed at undermining the legitimacy of an elected President.
