Amaechi gives condition to dump ADC, support Tinubu
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) vice-presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, has asked President Bola Tinubu to reduce the price of petrol to ₦600 per litre. He also vowed to withdraw from the ADC ticket and campaign for the President in the 2027 election if that happens. Amaechi made the challenge while reacting to Tinubu’s Independence Day address and the President’s declaration that Nigeria had entered an “age of prosperity” during an interview on Friday with Channels Television’s Politics Today.
Questioning the believability of Tinubu’s claim, Amaechi said Nigerians should assess whether the economic reforms had translated into lower prices and improved living conditions. “It is about believability; who do you believe? Go to the 2005 Presidential speech; it is the same: we have turned the page, and we are about to start enjoyment,” Amaechi said.
“Have you asked one of your staff who goes by transport, how much it costs from Yanya to Abuja?
Has anything come down? “Has any price come down, has anything changed?” he asked. Using the price of petrol as a test of the government’s economic claims, Amaechi said he would personally visit a filling station to establish whether the product had fallen to ₦600 per litre.
“I will go tomorrow morning to the petrol station to buy fuel, I will go myself, if fuel has come down to 600, I will campaign for President Tinubu. “If fuel comes down to 600 tomorrow, I will campaign for Tinubu,” he said.
