Amaechi Claims ADC Aspirants Are Regional Candidates
Rotimi Amaechi, the former governor of Rivers State, has stated that all presidential aspirants from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the 2027 elections are regional candidates, except for himself. In an interview with Channels Television, Amaechi expressed his belief that the current political landscape in Nigeria is heavily influenced by ethnic considerations, which he argues contributes to the country's ongoing challenges.
He referenced the situation surrounding President Bola Tinubu's support for a Muslim-Muslim ticket as an example of regional and ethnic determination in Nigerian politics. Amaechi's comments highlight his intention to emerge as the ADC's flagbearer for the upcoming presidential elections, positioning himself as a candidate focused on national rather than regional interests.
