Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has accused the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, of plotting a 2031 presidential bid while allegedly working to bolster President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 election prospects.
Amaechi made the claim during a phone-in interview on Eagles Radio, a statement later shared on X by African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain Dele Momodu.
According to Amaechi, Ribadu is “busy arresting everybody” and is setting up “fake ADC” structures to weaken opposition parties.
“I doubt that El-Rufai said he hacked NSA Nuhu Ribadu’s phone. He doesn’t have the capacity to do so. It’s the NSA’s office that is listening to our calls,” Amaechi said.
He further alleged that Ribadu is laying the groundwork for his political ambitions while simultaneously preparing a path for Tinubu in 2027.
“All he’s doing is setting up parties to fight the ADC. He has his own fake ADC. Just go to court; he has so many ADC cases in court with small boys he has bought cars for,” Amaechi said.
Amaechi, who also expressed skepticism over the claims that former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai hacked Ribadu’s phone, urged the NSA to focus on his official duties.
“The man needs to rest. If he thinks there won’t be proper elections in 2027, he’s wasting his time. He should prepare for his security job,” he added.
Amaechi’s comments come amid heightened political tensions over allegations of phone interception, which have further strained relationships among key political actors ahead of the 2027 elections.
