I’ll end corruption within one month if elected – Rotimi Amaechi
Former Minister of Transportation and ex-Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, has declared that if elected President of Nigeria in 2027, he would amend the constitution and eradicate corruption within his first month in office.
According to New Telegraph, Amaechi made the pledge during an X Space discussion titled “Weekend Politics”, stating that if he fails to end corruption within that period, he would resign from the presidency.
Amaechi.
He reportedly said …
“If I become President, I will change the constitution from indigeneship to citizenship. If I do not end corruption in Nigeria within one month, I will tender my resignation.”
The former All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain also alleged that certain influential individuals in the country frequent the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to steal money.
On the nation’s electoral process, Amaechi labelled Professor Yakubu Mahmood as the worst Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) so far.
“I challenged the present FCT Minister, Wike, to take a walk along the streets of Port Harcourt, which will reveal who is healthy and who the people actually loved.
It enrages me that those very influential among the ruling class visit CBN often to steal money. If they could use all the money they are pocketing to improve security and the economy, Nigeria wouldn’t be in such dire straits today.
The worst INEC chairman in the history of Nigeria is Mahmood Yakubu,” he added.
He clarified, however, that he would not reinstate the fuel subsidy if elected. Instead, he pledged to channel the funds directly into Nigerians’ hands.
“I will not reverse the removal of subsidies. I will instead direct the funds into the pockets of Nigerians, not the elite” he stated.
