“I know his weaknesses. And I know that if allowed to fly the flag of ADC, I will defeat Tinubu for sure.”
Former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, has expressed confidence in defeating President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election if given the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ticket.
Speaking during an X Spaces conversation on Saturday, Amaechi said, “I’ve not had an election against Tinubu. I know Tinubu very well. I know his strengths. I know his weaknesses. And I know that if allowed to fly the flag of ADC, I will defeat Tinubu for sure.”
He denied ever engaging in election rigging, stating, “I challenge any politician, living or dead, to come forward and say I was part of rigging.” According to him, electoral malpractice often involves governors and diversion of public funds through government agencies.
Amaechi vowed, “I will never participate in any rigging whatsoever… going forward, I will stop rigging.” He also acknowledged that Labour Party candidate Peter Obi “won in Rivers state” during the 2023 election, though the official result differed.
