I’ve been in politics since 1987, waiting for who will arrest me for corruption – Amaechi

Rotimi Amaechi, the African Democratic Congress presidential running mate, made a statement on Friday. In an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi vehemently denied any accusations of corruption. He claimed that he has been involved in politics since 1987 and no one has managed to arrest him for corruption.

Amaechi further asserted that corruption levels during President Bola Tinubu’s administration are higher than they were during the late former President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure. He highlighted the glaring nature of the corruption, stating that those involved are not attempting to conceal it. Amaechi questioned the difficulty faced by authorities in arresting him, having been in politics since 1987.

He admitted to not having a background in accounting or financial management, suggesting that his lack of expertise may be contributing to the ongoing challenges. Amaechi expressed his willingness to face anyone who could prove he is corrupt, daring them to take action.
