Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has declared his intention to contest the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential primary, stressing that he will not step down for any aspirant ahead of the 2027 elections.
Speaking with journalists in Kano on Wednesday after a meeting with a group of traders, Amaechi said the choice of leadership should be left to Nigerians through a transparent and competitive primary process.
“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,” he said.
Amaechi criticised the current administration, noting that hardship was widespread across the country. He argued that his candidacy offered unity and preparedness.
“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. People are suffering everywhere,” he added.
The former minister also paid a condolence visit to the family of the late business magnate, Alhaji Aminu Alhassan Dantata, in Kano.
