A former Rivers Governor Rotimi Amaechi has stated that the choice of the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in 2027 will not break the coalition.
Speaking to his loyalists at the Port Harcourt International Airport on Wednesday, the former Minister of Transportation stressed the need to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the forthcoming presidential election.
He urged citizens and residents of Rivers State to become card-carrying members of the new party.
On ADC presidential ticket, he said, “The moment anybody emerges from the primaries, we insist on a free, fair and transparent primary, all of us will support whoever emerges.
“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 N4million a month for 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.”
Speaking further, Amaechi said, “Most importantly, have your eyes on 2027. Please go home and start registration. We will form a committee from local government to local government to ascertain the number of people we have. If you allow them to rig you out, our state is notorious for writing results and we must stop them from writing results.
“They make noise after writing results. Go home now and start mobilizing people that will come and vote. Let me tell you one bad thing that we should not do; when you say they have already written the results, you discourage voters from coming out.”
