Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has declared that he will throw his weight behind the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate only if the party conducts a free and fair primary.
Speaking during an X Space discussion tagged Weekend Politics, Amaechi pledged full support for any candidate who emerges through a transparent process, emphasising his commitment to helping the ADC unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
“In a free and fair primary, whoever wins will have my full support,” Amaechi said.
“I will be deeply devoted to the campaign and will do everything in my ability to help ADC unseat this current clueless government. I will abandon the coastal road; that road is for stealing.”
The former minister also outlined electoral reform as a key priority, stating that if elected president, he would initiate sweeping reforms within his first six months in office.
“Electoral reforms are the lowest hanging fruits for me if I become President. There will be electoral reforms in my first six months,” he vowed.
Although the ADC presidential primary is yet to be scheduled, political watchers believe former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi are among those eyeing the party’s ticket.
