Amaechi Warns of Political Retirement if APC Wins 2027

Rotimi Amaechi, the vice-presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), announced that he and other prominent opposition politicians might retire from active politics if the All Progressives Congress (APC) secures victory in the 2027 elections. Speaking at the ADC National Women League Conference in Abuja, Amaechi urged party leaders and women supporters to focus on grassroots campaigning to effectively challenge the ruling APC.

He stated, “If APC wins the 2027 elections, we are retired from politics,” emphasizing the need for local engagement. He recalled the successful political mobilization that led to the APC's victory over the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015 and stressed that a similar strategy is necessary for the upcoming elections.

Amaechi plans to campaign in various states, including Kebbi, Yola, Rivers, and Delta, highlighting the importance of local governors in supporting the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, who is the ADC's nominee.
