Former Rivers State Governor and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rotimi Amaechi, who is seeking the party’s presidential ticket, has vowed not to step down for any aspirant.

He declared that the party’s presidential primary was a matter of no retreat, no surrender for him.

Amaechi stated this while addressing newsmen in Kano after a meeting with a coalition of traders in the state.

He insisted that the ADC primary election must be open, stressing that he would not step aside for any aspirant.

“I will contest the ADC presidential primary, and by God’s grace, I hope to win so that I can face Tinubu in 2027.

“I am not stepping down for anyone. Let the people decide who they want to lead,” Amaechi declared.

The former Minister of Transport maintained that every aspirant in the party had the right to seek the ticket, describing the contest as healthy for internal democracy.

Speaking on the state of the country under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the ADC chieftain criticized the administration, saying Nigerians were dissatisfied with its policies and governance style.

“Whether the government wants to conduct credible elections or not, one thing is certain—time is up. Nigerians are tired because no one is happy under Tinubu, not even in Rivers or across the South. He tries to frame it as a North-South contest, but the truth is people are suffering everywhere,” he said.
