Speaking during a conversation on X Spaces, Amaechi asserted that he would unseat Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election if given the African Democratic Congress, ADC, ticket.
Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi says he is well-acquainted with both the strengths and weaknesses of President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking during a conversation on X Spaces, Amaechi asserted that he would unseat Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election if given the African Democratic Congress, ADC, ticket.
According to the former governor of Rivers State, although he has never contested against the president, he is confident of victory if the opportunity arises.
“I know Tinubu very well. I know his strengths. I know his weaknesses,” Amaechi said.
“And I know that if allowed to fly the flag of ADC, I will defeat Tinubu for sure.”
Amaechi further claimed he had never engaged in election rigging and had refused to serve on the All Progressives Congress, APC, election planning committees.
“I challenge any politician, living or dead, to come forward and say I was part of rigging,” he said.
“In fact, all the appointments given to me by APC to join election planning committees, I have refused to participate.
“There was no one I participated in. Why? Because I know what they discuss. I listen to them. I hear them. If I get the ticket, I will reveal those things.”
