One of the new key defectors to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has blamed the administration of President Bola Tinubu for the worsening hardship faced by Nigerians.

Amaechi, a former Governor of Rivers State, equally declared his presidential aspiration, vowing to end Tinubu’s second term ambition in the 2027 general elections.

Speaking to a large crowd of supporters who gathered at the Port Harcourt International Airport to welcome him home on Wednesday, Amaechi expressed deep dissatisfaction with the Tinubu-led administration, blaming it for mismanaging Nigeria.

“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.

Amaechi urged Rivers residents to register with the ADC, his new political political, to help prevent electoral malpractice and reclaim political power in the state.

“We must stop the writing of results in Rivers. Go and register with ADC and let’s change the system,” he charged them.

Amaechi is in the state which he governed for eight years to galvanise support for the ADC ahead the crucial 2027 elections.
