Rotimi Amaechi, the vice presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, vehemently criticized Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, for questioning his accomplishments during his tenure as governor of Rivers State and as a minister. During a panel discussion at the Nigerian Bar Association's 2026 Annual General Conference, Sowore allegedly suggested that Amaechi had failed in his roles.
In response, Amaechi showcased his achievements by highlighting the functionality of the Lagos-Ibadan and Abuja-Kaduna railways during his time in office. He sternly advised Sowore to remain silent when experienced politicians were speaking, stating, "Where are those from Lagos? The Lagos-Ibadan railway is working or not? I don't know about Tinubu's time, but during our time, it was working.
'Is the Abuja-Kaduna rail working or not? Where are Rivers lawyers? Let them take Sowore around and show him what I did as governor. 'Moreover, Sowore, when politicians are talking, close your mouth."
