Former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, has vowed that his 2027 presidential ambition under the ADC is “no retreat, no surrender.”
Speaking in Kano after meeting with a coalition of traders, he insisted the party’s primaries must be open and declared he would not step aside for any aspirant.
“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 declared.
The former Transport Minister said all ADC aspirants have the right to contest, calling it healthy for internal democracy.
He also criticised President Tinubu’s administration, claiming Nigerians are unhappy with its policies and style of governance.
“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.
