Rotimi Amaechi Declares: “I’ll Wipe Out Corruption in 30 Days or Resign”.

In Nigeria – Politics.

The news as it trends.

As Nigeria’s 2027 presidential race intensifies, a bold declaration from former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi has stirred widespread debate.

During a recent campaign event, Amaechi pledged to eliminate corruption within 30 days of assuming office—or resign if he fails.

The statement, delivered with conviction, has sparked reactions across the political spectrum.

While supporters hail it as a sign of decisive leadership, critics question the feasibility of such a sweeping promise in a country where corruption is deeply entrenched in governance and public institutions.

Amaechi’s vow appears to be a symbolic gesture of zero tolerance, aimed at galvanizing public support and demanding accountability.

However, experts argue that meaningful reform requires more than rhetoric—it demands strategic planning, institutional transparency, and sustained effort.

As Nigeria grapples with decades of systemic corruption, Amaechi’s pledge has ignited a national conversation: is this the kind of fearless leadership the country needs—or merely another campaign headline wrapped in rhetoric?
