During a presidential campaign rally in Ikwerre area of Rivers State, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, alleged that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential running mate, Rotimi Amaechi, may withdraw from the race by 11am on January 16, 2027. Wike claimed Amaechi had failed to secure 15 percent of the votes when he was the campaign Director General for the late former President Muhammadu Buhari in previous elections in 2015 and 2019.
The minister further challenged Amaechi to provide an account of the $39 million allocated for the Karibi Whyte Specialist Hospital in Rivers State during his tenure as governor. Wike also criticized Amaechi's claims of fumigating the state while he was governor, stating that the mosquitoes were still present and biting people.
Wike reminded Nigerians that the presidential election was allegedly rigged and questioned Amaechi's ability to manage Nigeria if elected, given his lack of success in previous campaigns and his inability to account for the funds allocated for important projects in Rivers State.
