The Digest:
Former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi says he will contest the 2027 presidency under the ADC and won’t step aside for anyone. He insists on open primaries and criticises President Tinubu’s government, arguing that Nigerians are dissatisfied nationwide.
Key Points:
- Amaechi confirms 2027 presidential run under ADC.
- Rejects stepping down: “Let the people decide.”
- Calls ADC primaries a test of internal democracy.
- Targets Tinubu, says Nigerians are “tired and unhappy.”
- Pledges to face Tinubu if he secures the ADC ticket.
Amaechi’s stance signals a defiant bid to reinvent his political career on a new platform. By framing his ambition as a response to national discontent, he positions himself as an anti-Tinubu alternative, though questions remain about ADC’s weight in a high-stakes 2027 race.Sources: Daily Post
