Amaechi Challenges Corruption Claims During Interview

Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, the Vice Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), stated during an interview on Channels Television that he is waiting for anyone to prove he was corrupt. This statement came while he was addressing questions regarding his tenure in the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, where he served as a strong ally for eight years.

Amaechi questioned the claims of widespread corruption under Buhari's government, asserting that the current situation is worse, as it is more overt. He emphasized that true corruption involves hiding illicit activities, whereas he believes current corrupt practices are too obvious.

When confronted with allegations of his involvement in corruption due to his service under Buhari, Amaechi denied any wrongdoing, pointing out that he has been in politics since 1987 without facing arrest. He reiterated his stance against corruption, stating, “I said it several times...

I’m waiting for the person that will prove that I was corrupt.”.
