Amaechi Urges ADC to Mobilize for 2027 Elections

Rotimi Amaechi, the vice-presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), called on party leaders and supporters to return to their states and intensify campaigning ahead of the 2027 presidential election. Speaking at the ADC National Women League Conference in Abuja, Amaechi, a former governor of Rivers State and former Minister of Transportation, stressed the need for grassroots mobilization to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

He referenced the successful mobilization of women during the 2015 elections, which helped the APC defeat the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Amaechi announced his plans to return to Rivers State for political mobilization and urged party members to campaign actively in their local areas.

He linked the current economic difficulties in Nigeria to the upcoming election, noting that the cost of living would be a significant issue. He also pointed out the increase in out-of-school children, emphasizing the need for a strong grassroots effort to secure votes.
