Ndume stated in an Arise News interview that Tinubu, along with Lagos Governor Sanwo-Olu and the current Minister of Defence, reached out to him to arrange a meeting with Amaechi, indicating a willingness to incorporate him into the government.
However, this meeting never materialized, and Tinubu distanced himself from Amaechi, leading to a fallout between the former political allies.

Ndume emphasized his commitment to speaking the truth, stating that he believed Tinubu’s initial gesture was not followed through, leaving Amaechi sidelined.
Amaechi has since emerged as a leading figure in a national coalition opposing Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027, citing economic hardships and governance issues as key motivations.
