Former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, has accused Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, of introducing a 50 percent deduction from contractors working on projects for the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC. Amaechi made these allegations at an ADC campaign rally in Bauchi, where he also criticized President Bola Tinubu for the country's economic hardship.
Amaechi challenged Akpabio to explain the alleged deductions and claimed that Akpabio should be held accountable for his role in the practice. The former governor also criticized Tinubu for controlling the nation's resources while Nigerians continue to struggle with rising living costs. Amaechi promised that an ADC government would restore fuel and electricity subsidies to alleviate the cost of living and ease the hardships faced by citizens.
He further pledged to tackle corruption and ensure public funds are used for the benefit of Nigerians during an ADC government. Amaechi urged Bauchi State residents to support the ADC in the 2027 elections and to protect their votes by remaining at polling units until the counting and announcement of results.
