Amaechi Drops Bombshell I Knew What They Planned Behind Closed Doors”
In a revelation that has sent tremors through Nigeria’s political landscape, former Minister of Transportation and two-time Rivers State governor, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has openly admitted that he rejected every appointment offered to him by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to serve on election planning committees; the very committees that allegedly birthed the controversial government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Speaking in a no-holds-barred session on X Spaces, Amaechi peeled back the curtains on the murky underbelly of Nigerian politics. He alleged that electoral fraud is routinely orchestrated at the highest levels, implicating state governors and key government agencies in what he described as a well-oiled machinery for siphoning public funds and manipulating votes.
“All the appointments given to me by APC to join election planning committees, I refused. Not even once did I participate. Why? Because I know what they discuss. I listen. I hear them. If I ever get the ticket, I will reveal those things,” Amaechi declared, in words that now hang like a sword over the APC.
The former minister, who built his reputation on a no-nonsense brand of politics, insisted that he has never dabbled in election rigging... and dared anyone with proof to expose him. Should evidence ever surface, Amaechi pledged he would issue a public apology to Nigerians.
Beyond mere rhetoric, Amaechi positioned himself as a reformist vowing to end the vicious cycle of electoral malpractice if given the mantle of leadership. He pledged that restoring credibility to Nigeria’s democratic process would be his number one priority in office.
Now flying the flag of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 elections, Amaechi has also maintained that, if elected, he would serve only one term, in deference to Nigeria’s delicate power-sharing balance.
Political observers believe this revelation is more than just campaign talk; it is a strategic strike aimed directly at the heart of the APC’s moral standing. By asserting himself as the man who walked away from the “dirty deals” of power, Amaechi is carefully crafting a narrative of integrity, courage, and reform niche for himself based on his political antecedents.
But his words are also a warning shot: if the APC further attempts to discredit or blackmail him, because of his political stand, Amaechi now holds the potential to unleash insider truths that could rock the ruling party to its core.
One thing is clear here... with these revelations, the road to 2027 just became a lot more treacherous for the APC.
