South should get 8 years, I will spend only one term if elected - Amaechi by NgeneUkwenu(op): 9:20pm On Jul 03, 2025
2027 presidency: If I get the ticket, I will only do one term, says ex-Rivers governor Rotimi Amaechi.

Let predict the outcome of ADC primaries next year:

1st Position- Atiku
2nd Position - Amaechi
3rd Position - Peter Obi

Then at the end of the day, Amaechi and Peter Obi will drag for running mates.

I wish them good luck.

Seun Okin: Are you going to consider, for example, the balance of power, because Bola Tinubu will spend four years in 2027 and Peter Obi has said he won't spend more than one term. Will you be considering a one term too for the ADC coalition for a Southerner?

Amaechi: Of course, the way Nigeria is now, you must keep to that unwritten agreement of Northerner 8 years, Southerner 8 years. I led the fight against the PDP Government because there was an agreement at the time that the them Government was going to spend only four years and after four years the Government reneged and I said NO, that will be unfair, that will be instability at its peak because the North will react so the best thing to do was to support a Northerner to continue the balance of power.
Just like I will be saying to the North, the South must be allowed to complete their tenure. If the South is not allowed to complete their tenure then we will have made a mistake in supporting Buhari.

Seun Okin: So if you get the ticket, you will only do one term?

Amaechi: Of course

Seun Okin: And Nigerians can trust that?

Amaechi: I have told you, Nigerians know that I speak my mind. Nigerians know that what I would not do I will not say, including the Minister of Aviation, he knows that, including the President, he knows that. Everybody knows I am open, if I will do more than four years I will tell you, if I won't do more than four years I will tell you.

Re: South should get 8 years, I will spend only one term if elected - Amaechi by Amotolongbo(f): 9:24pm On Jul 03, 2025
These so desperate human beings just after our commonwealth with nothing to offer.

With the system of government we practise in Nigeria and the depth of rottenness, no genius can stabilise and cleanse it within 4years. You can’t lob the kind of different ideologies in the south and north together and expect brilliant results. The north and south have to be first separated.

Tinubu has nothing to offer Nigeria, same as all this crop of politicians parading themselves as saviour.

Don't let these APC internet propaganda Bandits deceive you.


When APC was formed, Buhari, Atiku, Rochas Okorocha, Sam Nda-Isaiah and three other candidates contested for the Presidential ticket in 2014 and Buhari finally beat them all to clinch the ticket, but today, they are making it look like Buhari was made a consensus candidate, evil people.




So make una leave the coalition alone, they will try their luck and popularity via a primary election

Atiku remains the owner of the ADC ticket. And if it has to be south agreed by Atiku, they will prefer Amechi. Delegation will admire Amechi more than Obi. Obi can't get ticket, if Obi gets ticket, some of the big wigs in ADC now will not support Obi. Many of them were there because of Atiku. Dino was there because of Atiku, he is only trying to deceive Obi by over praising him that he can't even vote for if as delegate.Tinubu remains your president till 2031. How is that difficult for you to understand on time?
Re: South should get 8 years, I will spend only one term if elected - Amaechi by Slytiger: 9:43pm On Jul 03, 2025
Amaechi, Obi and others are wasting their time. They can't outspend Atiku, and do not have the political clout of Atiku that came 2nd in the 2023 presidential election.

General election? I think Obi can slightly edge out Amaechi, but when it comes to lobbying party delegates, Amaechi will win. He surprisingly won Prof Osinbajo, a whole VP. Don’t underestimate him

Osinbajo indirectly withdrew from the Apc primary by giving his delegates to president Tinubu. No way Amaechi would have been second in that primary

If ADC field a Southern presidential candidate, they should forget votes from the north.

They'll rather prefer Tinubu to complete another term, and the power returns to the North, than believing Obi or Amaechi one-term promises.
Re: South should get 8 years, I will spend only one term if elected - Amaechi by IkeOnyia: 9:54pm On Jul 03, 2025
It's like Peter Obi and Rotimi Amaechi will tussle for the ADC presidential flagbearer if Atiku decides to let it go this time around. Amaechi is now fully in ADC as a member after resigning from APC but Obi still has one leg in LP as he doesn't seem to be sure of his fate in the coalition.

Atiku is not letting anything go.
He was traveling all over different states building and inviting people to join the coalition. You think he does not prefer to spend time with his grandkids abi. Only to do all those work and hand the ticket to Amaechi or Obi or Any other in the line up.

Atiku has been contesting since 1993 and 2027 wont be an exception. grin

This your unreasonable h8rd for Obi, may it not kpai you. Ahhahn.

You are practically obsessed over obi. Face your god - Tinubu - who is giving scholarships and doctors to St Lucia.

For someone who doesn't care about Obi, why are you always masturbating on every thread that Obi is mentioned?

Please go and sleep

It doesn't matter who wins the Primaries.


All I am trying to make you and other APC internet propaganda bandits realize is that APC's Presidential flag bearer wasn't handpicked by consensus with the way they are crying all over the place that some of the members of the new coalition party are having Presidential ambition. It's normal. The Primaries will decide who would fly the ticket of the party. So you guys should quit the deceit.


They all know that it's one person that will fly the ticket, and it's most likely going to be Atiku Abubakar unless they decide later to zone it to South, then Peter Obi might clinch the ticket.


Amaechi is far from it but you cannot shut him up, he has the right to express his interest just like he did with APC during 2022 APC Presidential primaries.
how can Amaechi b far from it?

If they zone it to the south,do u think it is obidient that will vote as delegates?

So u don't know delegates are politicians who needed money too?

Last election, a delegate from oyo state used money from primary election to send his son to UK....

So tell me can obi outspend Amaechi?

Answer that question if u are sincere with yourself

There is no doubt that Peter Obi is the biggest political figure in Nigeria today, far bigger than Tinubu if you take away Tinubu's power of incumbency as President, but then, the situation right now calls for more than just being the most popular political figure. You must consider other things like regional sentiments in Nigeria's politics.


To get Northerners to commit fully to the removal of Bola Tinubu, honestly I would suggest Atiku-Obi fly the ticket to capture every available voter and to maintain a burning fire that will consume anybody that dare to rig it.



With Atiku and Obi, Tinubu will be in trouble if he rig the results because Northern guys will be ready to go gaga and burn down Nigeria while Easterners will be ready too to give it to Tinubu wotowoto as they always give him lol


The coalition need that formidable combo of Atiku and Obi to unseat Tinubu come 2027
