APC Critiques Amaechi's Financial Claims for VP Bid
The All Progressives Congress (APC) criticized Rotimi Amaechi, the former governor of Rivers State and vice-presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), over his claim that he could not afford medication for his late mother, Dame Ezinne Mary Oduah Amaechi. In a statement by APC's National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the party expressed condolences for Amaechi's loss but quickly shifted to questioning his financial circumstances and political suitability.
The APC noted that Amaechi, who held significant public office roles, including Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, governor, and Minister of Transportation, should not be struggling financially. They accused him of being unable to sustain himself outside public office, suggesting he was seeking the vice-presidency in 2027 despite these claims.
The APC concluded that Amaechi's statements reflect his unfitness for the vice-presidential role, asserting that the presidency should not serve as a means for him to continue relying on public funds.
