This was said by Amaechi to reporters in Kano during a meeting with a group of the state’s traders. He emphasized that he would not step down for any candidate and stressed that the ADC primary race be open.

“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,” Amaechi declared.

The former transport minister defended the freedom of all party candidates to run for office, calling the competition “healthy for internal democracy.”

The ADC chieftain expressed dissatisfaction with the administration’s policies and governance style while weighing in on the nation’s situation under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“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. He tries to frame it as a North-South contest, but the truth is people are suffering everywhere,” he said.
