Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has pledged sweeping reforms if elected Nigeria’s president in 2027, including changing the constitution and eradicating corruption within his first month in office or resigning.
Speaking on Friday during an X Space session titled Weekend Politics, the former Rivers State governor said he would replace the current indigeneship system with citizenship rights.
“If I do not end corruption in Nigeria within one month, I will tender my resignation,” Amaechi declared, challenging current FCT Minister Nyesom Wike to walk through the streets of Port Harcourt to prove who is healthier and more beloved by the people.
Amaechi accused some powerful figures of frequently visiting the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to steal public funds, lamenting that such resources, if properly utilised, could solve the country’s security and economic crises. He also described INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu as the “w%rst” in Nigeria’s history.
On fuel subsidy, Amaechi vowed not to reverse its removal if elected, but promised to channel the savings directly to ordinary Nigerians rather than the elite.
