Electioneering materials promoting Rotimi Amaechi as a contender for the 2027 presidential race have emerged in various parts of Bauchi State. The posters, featuring the slogan “Amaechi for President 2027: Move Nigeria Forward,” also display the emblem of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
These promotional materials were spotted at key points across the Bauchi metropolis, including busy thoroughfares like Ahmadu Bello Way, Awalah Roundabout, Wunti Flyover, and Jos Road Roundabout. Other locations include the Bauchi Club area, Nasarawa Gate Roundabout, and the vicinity of the Emir’s Palace. Additionally, the posters were placed along Railway Road, Sabon Titin Karofi, and Kofar Dumi Street.
The presence of the posters has drawn significant attention from both pedestrians and motorists, many of whom paused to look at them, especially near Awalah Roundabout. Amaechi, who holds the traditional title of Dan Amanar Kasar Hausa of Daura, has a notable political background. He previously served as Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Governor of Rivers State, and Minister of Transportation. He also contested the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary in 2022, where he finished as the runner-up to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
