The vice-presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rotimi Amaechi, has expressed strong confidence that the party will defeat President Bola Tinubu across all 13 states of the North-East and North-West during the upcoming 2027 general election.
Amaechi made the declaration on Saturday during an ADC presidential campaign rally in Bauchi State, where he also cautioned that the party would strongly resist any recurrence of the electoral anomalies witnessed in 2023.
‘Because these people will do what they did in 2023. This time, we shall not agree. Do you understand? We will not do what?’ he told the cheering crowd.
Highlighting the party’s regional strength, the former Minister of Transportation asserted that the ADC holds a massive structural advantage across the northern corridor.
‘We are the only party that comes with 13 states. The whole of North-East, the whole of North-West, that is 13, right? Let the president tell us how many states he comes with. He comes with only five in the South-West,’ Amaechi stated.
Looking beyond the north, Amaechi predicted that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) could lose another state in the South-West to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).
‘That’s if he will. And the sixth state in the South-West will vote APM, whether he likes it or not,’ he added.
He further maintained that the ADC would fiercely contest the South-South and North-Central zones, expressing optimism that states like Niger, Kogi, and Nasarawa would easily fall into the opposition column. He also dismissed the possibility of President Tinubu securing significant electoral support in the South-East, assuring supporters of an emphatic victory.
