Why Rotimi Amaechi Is Not Qualified To Run For President – Human Right Lawyer Reveals | READ DETAILS

Kayode Ajulo, a human rights lawyer, says Rotimi Amaechi, former minister of transportation, is not eligible to contest for the 2023 presidential election.

In a statement on Friday, Ajulo said section 137 (1)(i) of the 1999 constitution prohibits Amaechi from running for office owing to the allegation of N96 billion fraud against him.

Nyesom Wike, Rivers state governor, had set up a seven-man panel to probe Amaechi over the alleged withdrawal of N96 billion from the state’s treasury during his tenure as governor.

According to Ajulo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) will be taking a great risk by handing over its presidential ticket to the former minister.
