Lolz.

This is the second time Amaechi is denying being Ibo


He first denied being Ibo and said he only said so because of politics . This was when Ibos were saying Buhari was marginalising the Ibos to which he came out and said he was Ibo.

Later, he wil say that he isn't Ibo and that he only said so out of political convenience .

Now Ibos in ADC rejected him as VP to Atiku by insisting Atiku must pick an Ibo to which Amaechi said he is Ibo but they reminded him of when he said he wasn't Ibo .

Now that he has gotten the VP , he is telling them that since they refused to back him as VP, he is no longer Ibo.

Cunning and very funny man

He is not ibo. He k own ibos are emotional and he is trying to get into their heads to snatch votes from the agulu fraud.

Everybody dey use our SE people catch cruise...........
Just give yourself fake identity to them
They will start praising you
Immediately you detach dey go cursing
Politicians have seen that , they play emotional politics in the SE , so everyone is exploiting them that way politically

Someone that his name is rotimi is here trying to famz the almighty igbos because of politics

former head of state chief Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe also has a son named Rotimi.

Let him simply change his name to the new tribe language he wants to belong

Once an igbo name is involved in crime outside, they don't care wether the person is from South South, Benue and Kogi igbos, they are generalized as onye Igbo but in politics.......

Nwike becomes Wike
Nyesom.....is no longer Igbo person

If
CHIBUIKE
AMECHI....IS NO LONGER IGBO IDENTITY, the. It's finished be that na

Mrfeel:
He is an ikwerre man and he should remain where he is, he always identify as igbo anytime a political party talks about picking an igbo as vice president

Same Igbos rejected him.

You can't accept him as Igbo because you want real Igbo to be vice president but you still want him to be Igbo anytime you want his land and support for Igbo candidacy

We bona-fide ig o sabi ourselves here..Onionbandit, shortigboman, Obaofaba, Roboto11, Flangelo12, CYRUSVI, LottiOk, Maziobinnaokija etc etc

Almighty Igbos?

Do you know what is in clause 5 of the instrument of surrender Effiong signed on behalf of you people?

Amaechi is just crazy

Brother who and who has what you called yourself helped? Whatever u like call yourself, I honestly think it's your business.

He should also remove "Amaechi" from his name cos it's an Igbo name

One thing I notice about Amaechi for long is that he's not politically intelligent and anytime he speaks on important issues he always proves me right

"I Stopped Calling Myself Igbo! The Igbos Denied Me Because of ADC VP Ticket. "I Won't Accept Until the Igbos Say It Publicly" – Rotimi Amachi


Former Rivers State Governor and former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has stirred fresh political debate with a candid statement about his Igbo identity during the 2026 Abuja Igbo Fest.

Amaechi said he stopped referring to himself as an Igbo man after the controversy surrounding the ADC vice-presidential ticket, claiming he felt rejected by some Igbos. He further stated that he would only embrace the identity again if the Igbo people publicly acknowledge and accept him.

The bold part is for those who don't know how to read and understand what is written.

He is truly not a good orator who can say things in a way that can't be exploited to his disadvantage. He could have said here that he REMAINS an Igbo man in Ikwerre land is spite of those who reject his Igbo identity for their own political manipulation.


In that regard, he is like that GRV Igbo boy who is desperate to be Lagos governor.

stuffs2002:

No igbo rejected him as real igbo or not rather, they insist since the south south already produced a president, the south east should be giving the ticket

Amaechi wey them beg alapiki for uniport to graduate am for political science department with 3rd class🤣

Who gave the south west and north the ticket in 2003 and in 2007 when Ojukwu contested?

Who gave the south west the ticket in 1999 and in 2003 when Ekwueme contested?

Have south east politicians not contested every election as president since 1999?

In which of our japa countries do they use tribalistic zoning and rotation to share the national cake of corruption? In America, Britain, Canada, UAE, Qatar etc

LOL... Funny man..

Amaechi...the Political 'Igbo' man .

Monsuru how many Igbos are patronizing Amaechi right now? Tell us.

How many take him seriously.

By the way, you have Yoruba people in Kwara who abandon and deny their Yoruba heritage to claim Fulani in order to gain political advantage.

Do you think we don't know? You want us to discuss that too?

TopBanter:
Amaechi is an emotional man always doing too much. How do you reject your ethnicity because you say some are persecuting you politically?

You say you are Igbo and then wish to stop being Igbo the minute some Igbos come for you over politics?

I am a proud Yoruba man. Nothing and no one can change that. Amaechi should learn to think before he rushes to talk.

He knows what he is saying, if indeed Igbo consider them as Igbo, they won't attack him for a VP slot, you people want Rivers and other to be part of you, wen you don't consider them as Igbo, only interested in their oil.

Today, Isaac Kekemeke, an Ijaw man from Ondo State, is the vice chairman of APC in southwest and senatorial candidate of APC.

How many states outside Yorubas can allow that?


If core Igbos are seeing Ebonyi as non Igbos, how much less, Ikwere man from Rivers.

Your questions are out of context to what I'm saying, I'm talking about what goes on within a party , and even when it comes to general there's zoning between the north and the south, when the north is president the south goes for vice it's the norm , so what I'm talking about is within the party structure, tinubu got the APC ticket cause within the APC agreement within themselves it was his turn and the gave it to him

This Amaechi of a man have serious identity crisis problem. He wants to belong to many groups and they all rejected him. This is someone that vowed not to be a second fiddle to anyone and here he is accepting to be a Vice-President candidate.

As if you are doing anybody some favors by calling yourself Igbo. Funny man with inferiority complex.

Accepting to be Igbo or not, will never add any thing to the most prosperous tribe in Nigeria. So get the hell out of here. Amaechi is politically finished, because as it stands, he can never win his polling unit in Rivera state

No one give a folk about Amaechi in the entire SS and SE; his shadow will continue to hurt him to his grave. If he likes, let him identified with Yoruba or Hausa/fulani; who cares.

Abeg go and sit down somewhere igbos will gain absolutely nothing by accepting u or fighting for you politically you are even the one that first rejected being igbo on national tv that video is still very available online. When you were minister of transport the south east was completely abandoned while you focused on building modern railway in the south west, the north and even down to niger republic so why will any reasonable igbo person be concerned wether you agree to be igbo or not?

The APC agreement that proposed Lawan as consensus candidate before Tinubu fought his way to the top of the ticket?

There is no zoning, otherwise people from different zones will not contest each election since 1999. Abi you know any zone that did not have a presidential candidate in the elections since 1999?

Moreover, nobody will give another southern candidate a chance in 2027 to do eight years thereby extending the years of southern president to 25 years compared to 11 years by the north in 2035.

Did Obasanjo not try and got a 2nd term even though he promised to do a term? Did Jonathan not try and fail to get a 2nd term even though he also promised to do a term

If you need approval to be Igbo, then you're not Igbo. It's that simple.

Amaechis mother is from Ogbaru. Anambra
Amaechis wife is from Enugwu Ukwu. Anambra
Amaechis son is married to Anambra woman

But Àmaechi is from Benin.

Make it make sense

He is just a fair weather politician that doesn't like any political stress that will affect his political career that's why he easily denies being igbo when an anti igbo govt takes over power but he still doesn't know those he is trying to impress will only use and dumb him, they still see him as an igbo man in their inner circle and won't support him to be nigeria's president when it matters most.
