I’ll Do One Term If Given ADC Presidential Ticket – Amaechi

Former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi has vowed to serve for only one term in office if he gets the presidential ticket of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Amaechi stated this while making an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday.

When asked if he would consider the balance of power if given the ticket, the ex-governor of Rivers insisted it was an unwritten rule in Nigerian politics.

He replied: “Of course. For now, the way Nigeria is, you must keep to that unwritten agreement that says North eight years and South eight years.

“I led the fight against the PDP government. Why? Because there was an agreement that the government at the time would serve four years.

“And after four years, that government reneged. And I said no, that would be unfair.

“That will be instability at its peak because the North will react. So the best thing to do, is to support the Northern candidate to continue the balance of power.

“This time around, the South must be allowed to complete their tenure.”
