Former Rivers State Governor and African Democratic Congress vice-presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, has expressed confidence that the party will defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election, claiming it has the support of 13 states in the North-East and North-West.

Amaechi said the ADC would also challenge the All Progressives Congress in the South-South and North-Central regions, predicting victories in Niger, Kogi and Nasarawa states.

“Because these people will do what they did in 2023. This time, we shall not agree. Do you understand? We will not do what?” he said.

Amaechi, who is the running mate to former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, argued that the ADC had a stronger regional presence, citing the 13 states in the North-East and North-West.

“We are the only party that comes with 13 states. The whole of North-East, the whole of North-West, that is 13, right? Let the President tell us how many states he comes with. He comes with only five in the South-West,” he said.

He further claimed that the APC would lose a sixth state in the South-West to the Allied Peoples Movement.

“That’s if he will. And the sixth state in the South-West will vote APM, whether he likes it or not,” he added.

The former Minister of Transportation said the ADC would also compete strongly against the ruling party in the South-South and North-Central, expressing confidence that Atiku would secure Niger, Kogi and Nasarawa states.

“We will fight with him in South-South. We will fight with him in North-Central. And be sure, be rest assured, Niger, Kogi, Nasarawa will be in ours easily,” he said.
