Amaechi Defends Against Corruption Claims, Critiques Tinubu

Rotimi Amaechi, the presidential running mate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), stated on Channels Television’s Politics Today that he has been involved in politics since 1987 and has never been arrested for corruption. He expressed confidence in his integrity, questioning why no one has been able to prove any corruption against him despite his long political career.

Amaechi criticized the current administration of President Bola Tinubu, claiming that corruption is more rampant now than during the administration of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari. He noted that while past corruption was often concealed, the current situation is more overt, stating, “these people are not hiding it, it’s so glaring.” Amaechi emphasized his lack of financial expertise, saying, “I don’t know how to keep money,” and reiterated his challenge for anyone to prove his alleged corruption.
