Amaechi has stated that South must produce Nigeria’s next president come 2027.
NewsOnline Nigeria reports that a former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has insisted that the next president of Nigeria must come from the South.
Speaking on Politics Today on Channels Television on Thursday night, Amaechi, however, argued that leadership should be determined by competence and character, not regional entitlement.
According to him, the next elections will be a battle between “ordinary Nigerians and the entrenched political elite.”
He said: “Nigeria belongs to all of us. We cannot sustain a democracy where one region dominates while others are locked out.

“The South has capable leaders. It’s time to restore balance and deliver real results.
“This election is no longer about party loyalty. It is Nigerians versus the political elite. If you want change, real change, then it’s time to rise.
“The South is ready to lead. We’re building a platform that gives every Nigerian a voice, and hope.”
