Former Rivers State Governor and APC presidential aspirant, Rotimi Amaechi, has come under intense criticism from the All Progressives Congress (APC) for his perceived inability to handle presidential duties. In a scathing statement, the APC's National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, argued that Amaechi is unfit for the presidency due to his lack of productivity and financial struggles post-retirement.

Amaechi's financial woes have been widely publicized, with the APC highlighting his confession of being so broke that his wife was feeding him, and now acknowledging his inability to afford medications for his mother, who tragically passed away at the age of 89. The party mocked his recent comments about his financial situation and expressed their condolences over the loss of his mother, while urging him to find suitable employment to support himself and his family.

The APC's statement questioned Amaechi's work ethic and productivity, labeling him a "loafer" who has failed to remain productive outside public office. They emphasized that the presidency is not a handout and expressed their belief that he is unprepared and unfit to assume the role of vice-president. Amaechi himself was quoted as jokingly requesting Nigerians to make him vice-president in 2027, further highlighting his perceived unpreparedness for the position.
