2027 Sh*wdown: “I’m Not A Professional Conspirator Like You!” – Dickson Slams Amaechi, Atiku

Former Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, has issued a cautionary note to key political figures—2023 PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi, and ex-Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai—over their reported plans to form a coalition aimed at unseating President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

Dickson delivered the subtle warning during Amaechi’s 60th birthday celebration held in Abuja on Saturday.

Earlier at the event, Atiku had openly referred to himself, Amaechi, and El-Rufai as “conspirators,” affirming their collective stance against the Tinubu administration and efforts to forge a united opposition front.

Responding, Dickson urged caution, reminding the trio of the unintended consequences of their past coalition efforts, particularly the one that led to the ousting of former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.

“When I walked in and looked around, I saw quite a few seasoned conspirators,” Dickson remarked. “Some of you are experts in building coalitions to topple governments—like you did to my party back in 2015.”

He continued, “You brought down a so-called clueless government, but 11 years later, Nigeria still struggles. We thought poverty would no longer be weaponized, and the nation’s challenges would be resolved.”

Offering a final word of advice, Dickson added, “I may not be a professional coalition builder or conspirator like some of you, but this time, I say: shine your eyes.”
