Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has vowed that he would change the Nigerian constitution if elected President in 2027.
Amaechi made the vow while speaking during an X space tagged ‘Weekend Politics’, on Friday.

He also vowed to end corruption within one month as President, or resign.

“If I become President I will change the constitution from indigeneship to citizenship.

“If I do not end corruption in Nigeria within one month, I will tender my resignation.

“I challenged the present FCT minister Wike to take a walk along the streets of Port Harcourt, which will reveal who is healthy and who the people actually loved,” the ex-Rivers governor said.

He also alleged that some influential people in the country visit to the Central Bank of Nigeria, CNN, to steal money.

Amaechi further described Professor Yakubu Mahmood as the worst Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

“It enrages me that those very influential among the ruling class visit CBN often to steal money, if they could use all the money they are pocketing to improve security and the economy, Nigeria wouldn’t be in such dire straits today.

“The worst INEC chairman in the history of Nigeria is Mahmood Yakubu,” he said.

He said he would not reverse the removal of subsidy if elected President.

Rather, he promised to direct the funds into the pockets of Nigerians.

“I will not reverse the removal of subsidies. I will instead direct the funds into the pockets of Nigerians, not the elite,” he added.

Peter Obi is the only Presidential candidate that is ready to take quick decisive action on major issues in Nigeria. He doesn't hide from the press, which is a quality any President should have to constantly reassure the citizens that he understands the reality on ground and has a plan.

Any President who avoids the press creates uncertainty especially with investors who don't want to be guessing what the plan is and how they're being tackled. Without investor confidence, investments and economic growth will slow down and jobs will suffer.

Peter Obi is the President Nigeria needs now.

GEJ is not running for President. People are using his name to distract the public.

TimeManager:
The fact that Obi loves media attention is no advantage to him. His unbridled tongue in the media has gone so bad that whenever Obi talks, the international media factchecks him just because of his reputation of throwing around false statistics. It is one too many that Nigeria can't afford.

-Kiss the truth!

My question is what about GEJ? And who told you he is not running for president. GEJ will be on the ballot sheet in 2027. The presumed first lady is his second wife who was recently projected into the public sphere.

givedemwotowoto:
With what model are you judging? Based on Nigeria’s failed politicians? Are you guys so used to bad leadership that you now prefer it to good leadership? Show us any President in the developed world that doesn’t show up to the Press to talk about issues.

Story!

Has GEJ announced that he’s running? I don’t need your “trust me bro” words, I need GEJ’s confirmation that he’s running for office. Till then, let’s focus on who’s running for office and can do the job, which is Peter Obi

Softmirror:
GEJ is running he is only employing the now becoming a popular strategy called 'confusion' at the moment. Or don't you want GEJ on the ballot?

OLADD:
So, up till now you're still not fed up with these fabulous and unfounded claims that resonate only with those with shrink mindsets.

As an obidient, please advise Obi to apply his ingenuity in creating an investment friendly environment in the southeast as a prominent figure from that extraction and thereafter translate his success story to the national scale.
Let him also use those skills to resolve at micro level, the lingering crisis in LP. Until then, please stop these tales of feeble idiosyncracies.

zero8zero:
Has he announced he is not running?. Let Obi keep serving food, he won't become President.

givedemwotowoto:
He was never in the race in 2023, and has dissociated himself multiple times from rumors like this. How does someone who was never in the race, suddenly announce he's not running? You guys need to take a chill with all these insecurities and cho cho cho.

Oga, when APC dangled consensus candidate before GEJ, he was practically drooling, until they pulled the rug off his feet.

Power once tasted is difficult to let go. You think mama Peace even though she claimed not to be interested in power will not like to enter Aso Rock again?

givedemwotowoto:
GEJ has not made any statement, not even an indication that he's interested. Even the former first lady has said she wasn't interested, so why all the cho cho cho about him especially from Tinubu supporters?

TimeManager:
CPC faction in the coalition are urging him to put himself in the spotlight, he's being too quiet and allowing others take the media attention.



He knows the President has no power to singlehandedly change anything in the constitution without NASS approval. Even the indigenization bill was withdrawn after it generated outcry from Nigerian. A new constitution requires two third of state houses of Assemblies, no President can do it alone. Ameachi knows this but as a typical politician, he tell the people what they want to hear.



We said it already, they can't reverse the President's policies, none of them can. They all know the policies are the right steps in the right direction. They have nothing to campaign against the President based off on policies, that's why the opposition do not have alternative policies to Mr President policies.


You will instead direct the funds to your wife's pocket.
