“ADC: Amaechi Did Not Beg Anybody To Be His Vice, Don’t Forget He Ran For President As Well” – Kalgo Fires Back at Claims Linking Ex-Minister to VP Slot, Defends His Political Status Ahead of 2027

Idris Kalgo, a prominent figure in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and a close associate of former Rivers State Governor and former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has rejected claims that Amaechi is seeking to become the vice-presidential candidate to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar ahead of the 2027 general election.

Kalgo made this known during an interview on Trust TV on Friday, June 19, 2026, while responding to ongoing political discussions surrounding the opposition coalition and speculation over possible ticket arrangements for the next presidential election.

Addressing reports suggesting that Amaechi had been lobbying for the vice-presidential position, Kalgo firmly denied the claims. He maintained that the former Rivers governor has never sought such a role through personal appeals and possesses a political stature that makes such speculation unfounded.GET FULL STORY HERE.
