Rotimi Amaechi isn’t mincing words. Not this time. The former transport minister, you know, the one who’s always in the thick of things? He’s got his eyes on 2027. And he’s not shy about it.

Saturday night. X Spaces. The conversation’s buzzing. Amaechi leans in. “I’ve never run against Tinubu. Not once. But I know him. I know what he’s good at. I know where he slips. If ADC lets me fly their flag, I’ll beat him. No doubt.”

He sounds sure. Maybe too sure. But he keeps going.

Amaechi says he’s never played dirty. No rigging, he claims. “I dare anyone—alive or dead—to say I rigged an election. APC asked me to join their election committees. I always said no. I know what goes on in those rooms. I hear things. If I get the ticket, I’ll talk. I’ll spill.”

He’s not done. “They bring in governors. They pull money from agencies. But there’s more. I’ll keep that for later. Maybe after the primaries.”

He’s drawing a line. “I won’t rig. Not now, not ever. If you find proof I did, show me. I’ll apologize. Simple.”

Then, a twist. He admits something most politicians wouldn’t. “Peter Obi? Yeah, he won Rivers State. But the results? They said something else. How? I don’t know.”

So, what’s next? Amaechi wants the ADC ticket. Will he get it? Nobody knows yet. But one thing’s clear—he’s ready for a fight. And he’s not afraid to say it out loud.
