Former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi has never secured an election win since he parted ways with Nyesom Wike in 2011, the latter declared during a gathering in Ahoada, Rivers State. Amaechi, who is now the Vice Presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), consistently attributes his failure to win elections since 2011 to unfavorable election results.
Wike argued that Amaechi's claims of losing elections since 2011 would likely continue in the 2027 general elections. He further claimed that Amaechi falsely stated he was governor in 2015, when in reality, Wike wrote the election results at the time. Wike stated that despite Amaechi's claims, the ADC would not win in the forthcoming elections, and the results would be written just as they have in past elections, most notably in 2011 when Amaechi was victorious.
In 2019 and 2023, Amaechi did not win, even while serving as the minister and DG of Buhari's and Atiku's campaigns, respectively. Wike reminded his audience that the Ekpeye ethnic group is one of the largest in the state, and they must consider the interests of their people when making political choices.
