Ameachi says ‘I’ll change Nigeria’s constitution, end corruption in one month as president’

Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has vowed that he would change the Nigerian constitution if elected President in 2027.

Amaechi made the vow while speaking during an X space tagged ‘Weekend Politics’, on Friday.

He also vowed to end corruption within one month as President, or resign.

“If I become President I will change the constitution from indigeneship to citizenship.

“If I do not end corruption in Nigeria within one month, I will tender my resignation.

“I challenged the present FCT minister Wike to take a walk along the streets of Port Harcourt, which will reveal who is healthy and who the people actually loved,” the ex-Rivers governor said.

He also alleged that some influential people in the country visit to the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, to steal money.

Amaechi further described Professor Yakubu Mahmood as the worst Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

“It enrages me that those very influential among the ruling class visit CBN often to steal money, if they could use all the money they are pocketing to improve security and the economy, Nigeria wouldn’t be in such dire straits today.

“The worst INEC chairman in the history of Nigeria is Mahmood Yakubu,” he said.

He said he would not reverse the removal of subsidy if elected President.

Rather, he promised to direct the funds into the pockets of Nigerians.

“I will not reverse the removal of subsidies. I will instead direct the funds into the pockets of Nigerians, not the elite,” he added.
