2027: Amaechi not interested in VP slot, he’s running for president – Aide

Rotimi Amaechi

Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has stated that he is not interested in being a running mate to anyone, insisting on running for the presidency in the 2027 election.

Amaechi’s comments come on the heels of Dele Momodu saying that Atiku Abubakar could consider the former Rivers State governor as a potential running mate if Peter Obi declines to join him.

Reacting through his media aide, David Iyofor, Amaechi dismissed talks of settling for a vice president slot, saying it is the turn of Southern Nigeria to produce the next president.

“Amaechi is not seeking to be running mate to anybody. He does not intend to be a presidential running mate to anybody and will not.

‎”Amaechi is not aware of, and will not be part of any talk to be running mate to anybody. For emphasis, Amaechi is running to be President of Nigeria and not to be a running mate to anybody.

‎”Politicians are kindly advised to leave  Amaechi’s name out of any discussion for presidential running mate,” Iyofor stated.
