Former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, has reaffirmed his ambition to contest the 2027 presidential election on the platform of the African Democratic Congress.
Amaechi made this known yesterday while speaking to journalists in Kano State after a meeting with a coalition of traders.
The former Minister of Transportation vowed not to step down for any aspirant in the party’s primary election.
“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 stressed that the ADC must conduct an open contest, adding that internal democracy would strengthen the party.
He also took a swipe at the Bola Tinubu administration, saying Nigerians were dissatisfied with its policies. According to him, hardship was biting hard across the country.
