Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has declared that he has the capacity and experience to solve Nigeria’s problems as political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections begin to gather momentum, Peak Newspaper reports
Amaechi made the statement during an interview on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief, where he expressed confidence in his understanding of the country’s challenges and his ability to address them.
“I don’t care who else is running. I’m running because I’m a Nigerian candidate. Because I know the Nigerian problem. And I can solve the Nigerian problem,” he said.
The former Rivers State governor cited his record in public service, including infrastructure projects such as rail development and port expansion, as evidence of his capability to deliver solutions.
Amaechi also stated that his experience in governance and handling security challenges gives him an advantage over other contenders positioning for the presidency.
He criticised the current administration led by Bola Ahmed Tinubu, arguing that economic conditions have worsened, with many Nigerians facing hardship due to rising costs of living and transportation.
The former minister further alleged attempts to weaken opposition parties and called for the independence of institutions such as the electoral body and the judiciary ahead of the next election cycle.
Amaechi is among several prominent political figures aligning under opposition platforms as consultations and coalition talks intensify ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
