Vice-Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rotimi Amaechi, has said President Bola Tinubu will suffer defeat in the North-East and North-West in the 2027 general election.

Speaking at the ADC Presidential Campaign rally in Bauchi State on Saturday, Amaechi said the opposition party will give the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) a fight across the South and North-Central, expressing confidence that his party would win Niger, Kogi and Nasarawa States.

Amaechi alleged that the APC, under which he served as Minister for eight years, rigged itself into power 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 said.

“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. That’s if he will. And the sixth state in the South-West will vote APM, whether he likes it or not.

“We will fight with him in South-South. We will fight with him in North-Central. And be sure, be rest assured, Niger, Kogi, Nasarawa will be in ours easily,” he said.

Amaechi also claimed that Tinubu would struggle to secure votes in the South-East, insisting that the ADC would emerge victorious in the presidential election.

“He will not go to South-East at all. Be rest assured, we will win. We will win. Things will get better,” he said.
