Popular Warri-based businessman and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Ayirimi Emami,  has said that no amount of ‘political gang up’ can stop President Bola Tinubu’s reelection in 2027.

Emami maintained that there was no vacancy in the Presidential villa as President Tinubu has done so well to deserve a second term in office.

He spoke at the 911 Beach & Resort, Escravos, during his ‘thank you’ ceremony tagged, Renewed Hope Valentine’s Carnival, where he donated items worth million of Naira to appreciate hundreds of Ilaje traders and fishers in Warri Southwest council area of Delta State, who stood for Tinubu in 2023.

Addressing the people, Chief Emami declared “no vacancy,” at the State House, adding that, “Tinubu must go back in 2027.”

His words; “Let’s give Asiwaju chance to rule. We gave Buhari chance, it’s not that we were happy with the government. We fought our own brother to support Buhari. Now, it’s the turn of Asiwaju, they are coming again that we should come and fight. We say ‘no.’ We are not going to fight.

“This man must complete his tenure. A lot of them that are ganging up are part and parcel of the last administration. For those ganging up, we will also enter our meeting here, Tinubu must complete his eight years. We say no to gang up,” Chief Emami declared.

He also expressed confidence in the management team of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), pointing out that the agency under Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, has been delivering on the commission’s mandate.

“No vacancy in the NDDC, we can only fight who does not do well. In the past six years, we have not seen an MD like this, it was as if the NDDC was not in existence,” the APC chief stated.

Emami, while presenting items worth millions of Naira to Ilaje fishermen and traders, said the he decided to give back to society for standing firm behind him during and after the 2023 election where he mobilised massively for president Tinubu.

Items he donated to the Ilaje communities, Egbokuta, Costain, Agoila and Agogboro, included four speedboat engines, 20 bags of rice, four cows, and cash gifts as well as a separate donation of a speedboat engine made to the Baale of Egbokuta, Durojaiye Ogunsemore.

Presenting the items, he commended the Ilaje communities for their unwavering support for President Tinubu, saying, “I decided to show love to Ilajes in Warri Southwest because they stood firmly when people were not ready to support President Tinubu.”

He said: “When I come to your place, the town hall used to be full, you gave me food. I know you complain of high cost of fuel and food but Asiwaju is working to fix them.

“I don’t want to wait till 2027 to thank you. You accepted us during the campaigns, so I have come to thank you with the little that i have,” Emami said in pidgin.
