2027: “I didn’t run for vice‑president because of the ADC” – Amaechi

By Mary Agbabiaka

Former transport minister Rotimi Amaechi has denied rumours that he is pursuing a vice‑presidential slot, stating that his political focus remains on the presidency amid ongoing discussions about the ADC presidential ticket.

In a recent appearance on the Daily Politics podcast on Trust TV, Amaechi addressed questions about party leadership, consensus arrangements, and reports linking him to a potential vice‑presidential role.

“I did not buy form to be vice president. Who are all those saying that?” he asked.

The former Rivers State governor emphasised that the conversation should stay centred on the presidency rather than the vice‑presidential position.

“Idris, the interview is about presidency. I didn’t buy form for vice president. If you want to interview a vice president, I can send them in for you.”

Regarding a consensus candidacy within the party, Amaechi said any decision must arise from collective agreement among stakeholders.

“If the party wants a consensus, let’s have a meeting. If we agree, we do it. If we don’t, we go primary.”
