Vice Presidential candidate Rotimi Amaechi of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has declared his intention to withdraw from the ticket of Atiku Abubakar's presidential campaign if the price of petrol drops to N600 per litre by tomorrow. During an appearance on Channels TV's Politics Today, Amaechi challenged the Federal Government's assertion that the cost of transportation and living expenses would decrease following the reduction in fuel prices.
He questioned whether the promised decrease in transportation costs from Nyanya to Abuja had materialized, asserting that Nigerians had yet to experience the effects of these policies. Amaechi pointed out that despite the government's repeated assurances, the cost of transport from Nyanya to Abuja had not changed and nothing appeared to have improved.
If the price of petrol falls to N600 per litre, Amaechi pledged to campaign for President Bola Tinubu, stating that he would withdraw as Atiku's running mate and support Tinubu under such circumstances.
