Amaechi Challenges Corruption Claims During TV Interview

Rotimi Amaechi, the vice-presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), publicly challenged his critics to substantiate allegations of corruption against him during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today. Amaechi, who served as the Minister of Transportation, stated that he has been involved in politics since 1987 without facing any corruption charges.

He criticized the current administration under President Bola Tinubu, claiming that corruption is more evident now compared to the tenure of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari. Amaechi emphasized that while corrupt individuals typically conceal their actions, the current administration's corruption is apparent.

He expressed confidence in his integrity, stating, “I am waiting for the person that will prove that I am corrupt,” and questioned why he has not been arrested despite his long political career.
