Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has vowed to support any aspirant that emerges as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate in a free and fair primary election.
Naijaonpoint reports that Amaechi gave the condition while speaking during an X Space tagged ‘Weekend Politics’.
The former Governor of Rivers State stated that he would fully support and be devoted to the campaign of the ADC presidential candidate to unseat President Bola Tinubu.
He said, “In a free and fair primary, whoever wins will have my full support. I will be deeply devoted to the campaign and will do everything in my ability to help ADC unseat this current clueless government.
“I will abandon the coastal road, that road is for stealing.
“Electoral reforms are the lowest hanging fruits for me if I become President.
“There will be electoral reforms in my first six months.”
Meanwhile, Amaechi has challenged those who claim they are behind the emergence of late Muhammadu Buhari as President of Nigeria to disclose how much they contributed.
Speaking during an interaction on X space, Amaechi insisted that God and the Nigerian people made Buhari president.
Naijaonpoint reports that there are claims that Tinubu’s influence significantly contributed to Buhari’s election as president in 2015.
During his campaign in Ogun State in 2022, Tinubu said he supported Buhari in becoming president; hence, 2023 was his turn.
However, Amaechi said, “God and the Nigerian people chose Buhari as President over any other candidate.
“If somebody claims that Buhari became President because of them, they should explain how much they contributed and what else they did.”
