Former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, has declared himself the most qualified and electable presidential aspirant in the African Democratic Congress ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The ex-Minister of Transportation cited his extensive leadership experience and relative youth.
Speaking on ARISE News on Friday, Amaechi positioned himself as a formidable option within the ADC, which is shaping up to be a crowded field that includes former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Northern Nigeria Development Company boss, Mohammed Hayatu-Deen.
When asked why the ADC should choose him over more prominent aspirants like Atiku and Hayatu-Deen, Amaechi pointed to his leadership track record.
“I’m the most experienced of them all. I’m the youngest but most experienced.
“I have been chairman of the Governors’ Forum. None of them, including President Tinubu, has been chairman of the Governors’ Forum because he was once a governor,” he said.
He added, “I’ve been chairman of the Speakers’ Forum. None of them has been… In fact, President Tinubu was partially in the parliament as a senator. But how long was he a senator? And what positions did he hold in the Senate? But I held not just the speaker.
