- Amaechi also described Professor Yakubu Mahmood as the worst Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has said he will take a series of radical decisions that will alter the nation’s socio-economic and political landscape of Nigeria if elected president.
Speaking during an X space tagged ‘Weekend Politics’, on Friday, Amaechi said he would change the Nigerian constitution if elected President in 2027.
He also alleged that some influential people in the country visit the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, to steal money, vowing to end corruption within one month as President or resign.
“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.
“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 disclosed that he became the Speaker of Rivers State at the age of 32 years.
According to Amaechi, he served in that capacity for eight years without being impeached.
“I was the first Speaker at the age of 32 years and led the Rivers State Assembly for 8 years without being impeached,” he added.
Amaechi further described Professor Yakubu Mahmood as the worst Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
