“I will never participate in any rigging whatsoever. What I promise to do now, going forward, is to stop rigging,” he said, adding that he would apologise only if proven guilty.
Amaechi, who recently declared interest in contesting the 2027 presidential election under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), said he is ready to serve only one term to maintain Nigeria’s power rotation agreement between the North and South.
