ADC Ticket: I won’t step down for you, Amaechi tells Atiku

As the internal crisis in the coalition party grows, former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi has reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to pursuing the presidency in the upcoming 2027 election.

During a recent interaction with journalists in Kano, Amaechi expressed his strong belief that the primary election of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) should be inclusive and accessible to all candidates.

He emphasised that he has no intention of stepping aside for anyone in his quest for the presidency.

Moreover, Amaechi insisted that the ultimate power to choose their leader lies with the masses, empowering citizens to have a decisive say in their governance.

“I will contest the ADC presidential primary, and by God’s grace, I hope to win so that I can face Tinubu in 2027.

“I am not stepping down for anyone. Let the people decide who they want to lead,” Amaechi stated.

Speaking further, Amaechi said Nigerians have had it with the Bola Tinubu administration, noting that citizens are suffering.

“Whether the government wants to conduct credible elections or not, one thing is certain—time is up. Nigerians are tired because no one is happy under Tinubu, not even in Rivers or across the South.

“He tries to frame it as a North-South contest, but the truth is people are suffering everywhere,” he said.
