‘I’ll leave my wife if she governs like Tinubu’ - Amaechi

Rotimi Amaechi, the presidential running mate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has expressed his willingness to leave his wife, Judith, if she becomes president and governs in a manner similar to President Bola Tinubu. The statement was made during an interview with Rapid TV, where Amaechi urged Nigerians to refrain from voting for Tinubu in the 2027 elections.

According to Amaechi, his wife holds the highest place in his life, followed by his children. If his wife were to become president and pursue policies akin to Tinubu's, he would be displeased and would not support her, despite his love for her. Amaechi appealed to voters to evaluate the president's performance rather than let personal sentiments sway their political choices.

He emphasized the importance of not allowing religion, politics, or ethnicity to influence their decisions and urged Nigerians to consider the opposition in the upcoming election. Amaechi further pointed out the contrasting experiences of Tinubu's and his party's leadership, suggesting that the opposition has yet to face the challenges that Tinubu has encountered.

He concluded by encouraging Nigerians to give the opposition a chance, stating, "There's a difference between Tinubu's group and ours. They’ve been tested, so you know the next four years will be tough. We haven’t been tested yet, so give us a chance."
