In an interview on X Space on Saturday, August 9, 2025, the former governor of Rivers State committed.
If elected president, Amaechi also pledged to use the money saved from the removal of subsidies wisely for the nation’s growth.
“I will thus eradicate corruption. I promise that corruption will vanish within the first month of my tenure. I’ll submit my letter of resignation and depart if it doesn’t go away. I’m serious,” he said.
He criticized the government’s management of the subsidy windfall, claiming that a select group of governors and federal officials share the advantages and that they live extravagant lives.

He has made it clear, time and time again, that if he wins the ADC presidential ticket in 2027, he is willing to serve only one term.
Speaking on Saturday, he promised that if he is given the ADC ticket, he has what it takes to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027, emphasizing that he has extensive knowledge of the President’s strengths and weaknesses.
“I assure you that I didn’t run for office against Tinubu. Tinubu is someone I know well. I am aware of his strengths. I am aware of his shortcomings. And I am certain that I will defeat Tinubu if I am permitted to fly the ADC flag,” he declared.
