If Tinubu wins 2027, we’ll retire from politics – Amaechi

The vice-presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and former Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, has urged party leaders to intensify campaigns across their states and wards to prevent President Bola Tinubu from securing re-election in the 2027 presidential election.

Speaking at the ADC National Women League Conference in Abuja on Wednesday, Amaechi warned that many opposition leaders would be “retired from politics” if the All Progressives Congress (APC) wins the election.

According to Vanguard, Amaechi urged women to mobilise voters at the grassroots, recalling how women helped the APC defeat the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015.

He said, “If you are not from FCT, go home and campaign. Me, I am going on Wednesday, I will not wear suit, I will dress like a young man. Let me tell you what will happen. We the crop of leaders you see here, if APC wins the 2027 elections, we are retired from politics.”

Amaechi also urged women to secure votes from their wards, saying, “If you bring two thousand votes per ward, don’t win your ward. Just bring two thousand votes, we have won the election.”
