Rotimi Amaechi Urges Edo Residents to Reject Bola Tinubu
Rotimi Amaechi criticized President Bola Tinubu's economic policies as reckless and urged voters in Edo State to reject him in the 2027 election.
Vice-presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress Rotimi Amaechi urged residents of Edo State to reject President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election during a town hall meeting in Benin City. Amaechi stated that only "mad people" would vote for the president, characterizing the current administration's economic policies as reckless.
He specifically criticized the removal of the petrol subsidy and the development of a new seaport in Ogun State, which he claimed was driven by financial interest rather than economic necessity. Amaechi argued that these decisions contributed to the current cost-of-living crisis facing Nigerians.
To address fuel prices, Amaechi proposed a production subsidy model that would implement domestic pricing for crude oil sold to local refineries like Dangote. He asserted that ADC presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar would implement this policy to stimulate domestic production and lower costs for consumers.
