Amaechi Blames Nigerians for Country's Issues, Not Tinubu

Rotimi Amaechi, the vice-presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress, addressed a campaign rally in Kebbi State, asserting that the problems facing Nigeria are due to the citizens themselves rather than President Bola Tinubu. He encouraged Nigerians to take responsibility and vote against Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.

Amaechi criticized Tinubu's administration for borrowing over $30 billion, claiming this is significantly more than the borrowing record of former President Muhammadu Buhari. He expressed concern over the rapid borrowing, suggesting it was a tactic for the administration to escape accountability.

Amaechi emphasized that the solution lies with the people, urging them to participate actively in the electoral process on January 16. He dismissed claims of ethnic or religious motivations in the political landscape, framing the issue as one of accountability and civic engagement.
