Rotimi Amaechi, the vice‑presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), warned that he would step down if Nigerians do not see tangible improvements within a year after the party assumes power.
Speaking to the media, Amaechi said his resignation would be a direct response to a failure to deliver “positive changes” for the country, emphasizing that accountability is essential for any government that promises reform.
The ADC, a smaller opposition party, is positioning itself as an alternative to the ruling All Progressives Congress, pledging to address long‑standing issues such as insecurity, unemployment and infrastructure deficits.
Amaechi’s statement comes amid heightened political activity ahead of the upcoming general elections, where the party hopes to attract voters dissatisfied with the current administration.
Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, has faced persistent challenges that many candidates have pledged to tackle, making promises of measurable progress a key focus of campaign rhetoric.
While no specific timeline or policy details were outlined, Amaechi’s ultimatum underscores the ADC’s intent to hold its leadership to a strict performance standard if it wins the election.
