I’ll Withdraw From Atiku, Campaign For Tinubu If Fuel Drops To ₦600 Tomorrow – Amaechi

Amaechi said he would back Tinubu and leave Atiku's ticket if petrol falls to ₦600 a litre, citing rising living costs.

  • On Friday, African Democratic Congress Vice Presidential candidate Rotimi Amaechi challenged President Bola Tinubu, offering to withdraw from Atiku Abubakar's ticket and campaign for Tinubu if petrol prices drop to N600 per liter by Saturday.
  • Amaechi, a former Minister of Transportation, criticized the Federal Government's claims that living expenses would decline, questioning whether transportation costs from Nyanya to Abuja had actually reduced as promised.
  • Challenging the administration's narrative, Amaechi invited skeptics to join him at a filling station this morning to verify fuel costs, stating, "If you doubt, come with your camera to my house in the morning."
  • The former governor of Rivers State clashed with President Tinubu's Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, stating, "I won't respond to him because in my tradition I'm supposed to call him Dede, meaning an Elder."
  • Framing the upcoming 2027 election as a choice between "life and death," Amaechi warned President Tinubu against rigging, insisting that Nigerians are hungry and tired and require improved conditions.
