I get why people are wondering if rotimi amaechi can actually do what he says and help get rid of Tinubu as president. In all honesty, it's super hard to say for sure. I've seen Amaechi say some bold stuff about building an opposition coalition capable of kicking Tinubu out, but that's a big promise. Nigerian politics is super complicated, with lots of powerful people and behind-the-scenes deals. Even Amaechi, who used to be Minister of Transportation and governor of Rivers State, doesn't have every politician on his side right now. Some, like Joe Igbokwe from the APC, say Amaechi isn't even credible because of his past behavior.

But then again, the frustration a lot of people feel with Tinubu’s government -- inflation, insecurity, hunger -- could make a new coalition more likely. I guess I feel like Amaechi might be able to stir things up and make noise, but actually removing Tinubu would take massive support from regular people and other big politicians, not just talk. Still, I wouldn't count him out completely. Politics can get wild when people are fed up. If Amaechi builds a strong team and the dissatisfaction keeps growing, anything could happen! But right now, it's more of an interesting idea than a sure thing, in my opinion.
