‘Tinubu hates you’ – Amaechi tells Edo people

During the ADC stakeholders Town Hall meeting in Benin, Vice Presidential candidate Rotimi Amaechi made allegations against President Bola Tinubu. Amaechi claimed that the President harbors animosity towards the people of Edo State. This claim was based on his observation of the construction of a new seaport in Ogun State. Amaechi questioned the rationale behind the building of multiple seaports in Nigeria and suggested that the President's actions were driven by personal financial gain rather than addressing local production needs.

He stated, "Tinubu just hates you. If Tinubu does not hate you, why is he building a new seaport in Ogun State? What goods are we producing to have many seaports?" Amaechi further argued that the construction was motivated by financial incentives rather than genuine need. He concluded by urging the audience, "If you want Tinubu to go, then go home because all the Returning Officers are human beings. They are Nigerians. Those who think bad and return fake results have suffered for four years."
