Rotimi Amaechi, a former minister of transport, declared yesterday that coalition leaders will back the African Democratic Congress’s ultimate presidential candidate in full for the general elections in 2027.
His remarks coincide with ADC’s claims that policies being implemented by President Bola Tinubu’s administration have failed to alleviate the sufferings of Nigerians.
This comes even as Sule Lamido, a former governor of Jigawa State and a leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stated that he would not join the ADC or be a member of any coalition, but that he is willing to work for whatever agreement with or without his party in order to secure Nigeria in 2027.

Addressing his supporters in Port Harcourt, Amaechi explained that the opposition leaders are optimistic that the process leading to the emergence of the party’s flagbearer will be transparent, free and fair.
“The moment anybody emerges from the primary, all of us will support; that’s the agreement.
We insist on a free and fair, transparent primary,” Amaechi said.

“Every Rivers man who thinks good of the state and country should move to register with the new party and ensure that we remove the current government and stop the hunger that everybody is suffering from.
“If you are not tired of President Tinubu, I’m tired of President Tinubu. If you’re not hungry, I’m hungry. If the rich men are spending N4 million a month on electricity, only God knows how you are surviving. And the President says he doesn’t care. The President says he is not here to make you happy but ADC is here to make you happy.
“Rivers State is notorious for writing (election) results. When they write result, they claim they have won. I will not work with you if you work with those result-snatchers to announce result. God will bless all of us,’’ the former Rivers governor told his supporters who stormed the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, in large number,” he added.
