Posters promoting former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi as “the only person to be trusted” have appeared across strategic locations in Kaduna, igniting early political buzz and speculation about a 2027 presidential bid.

Key Points:
  • Posters described Amaechi as “the only man for the job” and emphasized trust and capability
  • They were placed along Ahmadu Bello Way, Ali Akilu Road, near the Government House, and Kawo Bridge
  • The sighting caused noticeable slowdowns in traffic as passersby and motorists took note
  • Amaechi holds the traditional title Dan Amanan Kasar Hausa of Daura, strengthening his Northern appeal
  • He previously contested the 2022 APC presidential primary, finishing second to President Bola Tinubu
  • The former Rivers governor has not formally declared any 2027 intention
