Rotimi Amaechi, the African Democratic Congress’s (ADC) vice‑presidential candidate, warned that he could resign if an Atiku Abubakar‑led administration fails to deliver, making accountability a central theme of the party’s campaign ahead of the 2027 election.
Speaking to News Central TV, the former Minister of Transportation outlined the ADC’s plans and urged voters to scrutinise the record of the party’s leadership. Amaechi said Atiku knows his character and added that “Nigerians will hail the former Vice‑President as a hero within the first year of an ADC government, if elected.”
When asked whether he would step down as vice‑president if performance was lacking, Amaechi answered firmly: “Yes, I’m not joking. But the way the situation is, and the way I know Atiku, our first year in office, he will be hailed as a hero.” He further warned that Nigerians would regret not voting for Atiku sooner if the pair were to win.
Challenging anyone who claimed he had broken promises, Amaechi called on voters to “come forward” and demanded a “referendum on all of us, not just the current administration.” He reminded the electorate of his past roles as governor of Rivers State, minister and speaker, and urged them to judge his record against their own standards.
“Judge, assess all that I have done in this office. If I don’t meet your criteria, if I don’t meet what can convince you to vote for us, don’t vote for us,” he said, underscoring the ADC’s pledge to performance and transparency.
