Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has declared that he is confident of defeating President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election if given the ticket of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Speaking during a conversation on X Spaces, the former Rivers State governor said he had never contested against the president but was certain of victory if the opportunity arose.
“I know Tinubu very well. I know his strengths. I know his weaknesses,” Amaechi stated. “And I know that if allowed to fly the flag of ADC, I will definitely defeat Tinubu.”
Amaechi also claimed he had never engaged in election rigging and had consistently refused to serve on the All Progressives Congress (APC) election planning committees.
“I challenge any politician, living or dead, to come forward and say I was part of rigging,” he declared. “In fact, all the appointments given to me by APC to join election planning committees, I have refused to participate.
“There was no one I participated with. Why? Because I know what they discuss. I listen to them. I hear them. If I get the ticket, I will reveal those things.”
