Rotimi Amaechi, a former minister of transport and African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, promised on Thursday that if elected in the 2027 general election, he will change Nigeria in four years.
Amaechi made the pledge shortly after submitting his presidential nomination forms at the ADC’s national secretariat in Abuja.
In a tweet on his X handle on Thursday, Atiku stated that his presidential campaign is part of a larger movement to rebuild Nigeria and restore national wealth.
Amaechi, on his part also claimed that skill, experience, and performance—rather than ethnicity or political sentiment—should determine the 2027 battle and promised to change the nation within four years if elected.
In Amaechi’s words,“What Nigerians should do is assess all of us who are running for office based on our records.
“Nearly everybody who is running for the office of the president has served Nigeria in one way or another. Let this be a referendum. If you have performed, whoever has outperformed the other, vote for the person.”
Speaking after submitting his form at the ADC national headquarters in Abuja, Atiku wrote, “The march to restore prosperity and better days to our beloved nation took a firm and decisive step forward today at the national secretariat of our great party, the African Democratic Congress.”
Additionally, he said, “This is more than a political journey; it is a national movement rooted in hope, renewal, and the collective resolve to save Nigeria from despair.”
BACKSTORY…
Amaechi served as the director-general of President Buhari’s 2015 campaign after governing Rivers State from 2007 to 2015 and helping to found the All Progressives Congress.
As Minister of Transportation from 2015 to 2023, he oversaw major railway projects such as the Abuja-Kaduna and Lagos-Ibadan rail lines, although the rising debt tied to some of those projects drew concern.
