The African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential running mate, Rotimi Amaechi, has warned Nigerians that President Bola Tinubu’s presidency is a choice of death.

Amaechi urged Nigerians to vote for the ADC’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, who, he said, represents life.

The former governor of Rivers State disclosed this in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday night.

According to Amaechi: “We don’t have two choices but just one to make: the choice to be alive, because Tinubu’s presidency is the choice of death.

“My wife has staff in her shop, and they are asking for a salary increase. The transport fare from where they stay alone, out of the N70,000 you pay them in a month, takes N65,000.

“What about house rent? It has increased by 300 percent. I had somebody call me and tell me that they had increased my rent by 100 percent.

“So, the government increases your salary to N70,000 and introduces taxes that take away over 60 to 70 percent. Is the money in your pocket?

“Will you vote for Tinubu, who has taken away the money from your pocket? What about the cost of drugs? How many people have died because they can’t afford drugs? So, when you say they have a choice, they don’t. It’s only one choice, which is life, and Atiku represents life.”

A fatal road accident at Tom village, also known as Hawan Kibo, in Sopp Bachi, Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State, has reportedly claimed several lives.

Preliminary information indicated that the accident occurred on Friday evening, resulting in multiple fatalities.

Security analyst, Zagazola Makama, stated in a post on X on Friday that the exact number of people killed and the circumstances surrounding the crash had yet to be confirmed as of the time of reporting.

He said emergency responders and relevant authorities had been urged to respond promptly to assist the victims and evacuate those affected.

Makama added that further details were being awaited as more information are obtained from the scene.
