Why Tinubu should be voted out - Amaechi speaks
Speaking to a crowd of supporters at the Port Harcourt International Airport on Wednesday, July 23, Amaechi expressed deep dissatisfaction with the Tinubu-led administration, blaming it for the worsening hardship faced by Nigerians.
“I’m tired of this government. If a rich man is spending N4 million on electricity, only God knows how you—the masses—are surviving,” he said.
As reported by Vanguard, Amaechi, the South-South leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), urged Rivers residents to register with the ADC to help prevent electoral malpractice and reclaim political power in the state.

ADC speaks on Atiku, Obi, Amaechi’s 2027 ambition
Legit.ng earlier reported that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has stated that the party is not bothered by any of its leaders declaring presidential ambitions ahead of the 2027 elections.
Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC spokesperson, asserted that the ADC will impose its authority to regulate or motivate the ambitions of individual members.
“It’s just politicians doing what politicians will do. Every politician has an ambition in one way or the other, but what is important is for the party to be able to impose its authority, to regulate or motivate the ambitions of individual members. I mean, even in conceptual terms, that’s what political parties are meant to do, to aggregate interest, to the ambitions. So we don’t have any problems with anybody coming to say I want to be president. I want to be this or that. That’s not the problem,” the ADC spokesperson said.
