Posters bearing the image of former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi for President have surfaced across major streets in Bauchi State, ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Amaechi, who holds the traditional title of Dan Amanan Kasar Hausa of Daura, has previously served as Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Governor of Rivers State and Minister of Transportation.
The posters were placed at strategic places, including roundabouts, electrical poles and signboards along major streets within the state capital.
Usman Ibrahim, a supporter of ADC in Bauchi metropolis, said “as you can see , the posters prominently display Amaechi’s portrait, because he is a truly quintessential and exemplary leader, detribalised Nigerian. I can describe him as the only person to be trusted and the only man for the job.”
The posters appeared at key locations across the Bauchi metropolis, including Ahmadu Bello Way, Awalah round about, Wunti Flyover, Jos road roundabout , Bauchi club, Nasarawa Gate round about emirs Palace roundabout. They were also visible along major streets of Railway Road, Sabon Titin Karofi, and Kofar Dumi street, among others.
The display of the posters attracted noticeable attention, with motorists and pedestrians slowing down to view them, particularly around the Awalah roundabout, where early-morning traffic experienced brief disruptions.
Amaechi contested in the APC presidential primary in 2022, finishing second behind President Bola Tinubu.
