Trump issues pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer after insider trading conviction    President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer, who served nearly two years in prison after being convicted of insider trading tied to post-congressional consulting work.

  ‘Rejected Rivers politician can’t lead revolt against Tinubu’s reelection’ – APC hits Amaechi


Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Wednesday lambasted former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi over his remark that Nigerians should mobilize because President Bola Tinubu can be defeated in 2027.

It described Amaechi’s remark as a “well-deserved contempt,” and “political hallucination.”

The spokesman of the state arm of the party, Mogaji Seye Oladejo, said a politician who was rejected at home can’t a national revolt against Tinubu.

In a statement, Oladejo wondered how a man declared political non-grata wants to lead a national mobilization.

He said: “Amaechi is free to dream, but he must stop mistaking his nightmares for national reality.

“Let us start with the obvious:

Amaechi is a political orphan – disowned in Rivers, irrelevant nationally, and steadily sinking into total political oblivion.

“In Rivers State today, mentioning Amaechi’s name in political discussions is viewed as a provocative joke. A man who has lost his structure, lost his followers, and lost his voice has suddenly found the courage to lecture Nigerians on how to “mobilise.”

“Mobilise who? The few loyalists left in his WhatsApp group, Politicians who abandoned him the moment he lost the presidential primaries? The same Rivers electorate that no longer take him seriously?

‘You cannot lead a national movement when your own backyard has padlocked the gate against you.”
