I’ll do one term if given ADC presidential ticket – Amaechi
Former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi has vowed
to serve for only one term in office if he gets the presidential ticket of the
African Democratic Congress, ADC, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Amaechi stated this while making an appearance on Channels
Television’s Politics Today on Thursday.
When asked if he would consider the balance of power if
given the ticket, the ex-governor of Rivers insisted it was an unwritten rule
in Nigerian politics.
He replied: “Of course. For now, the way Nigeria is, you
must keep to that unwritten agreement that says North eight years and South
eight years.
“I led the fight against the PDP government. Why? Because
there was an agreement that the government at the time would serve four years.
“And after four years, that government reneged. And I said
no, that would be unfair.
“That will be instability at its peak because the North will
react. So the best thing to do, is to support the Northern candidate to
continue the balance of power.
“This time around, the South must be allowed to complete
their tenure.”
