Rotimi Amaechi, the vice presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has criticized President Bola Tinubu over the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road, claiming it was built for personal benefit rather than for Nigerians. Amaechi compared the current administration's corruption to that of former President Muhammadu Buhari's, stating that the level of corruption under Tinubu is worse. He urged Nigerians to question how public projects are awarded and how public money is spent. Amaechi also criticized the Tinubu administration's pursuit of a proposed $500 million World Bank loan, arguing that an outgoing president should not burden his successor with fresh debt. He called on the World Bank to not approve the loan without full disclosure of its terms, risks, and repayment obligations. Amaechi further claimed that ex-President Muhammadu Buhari promised him the 2022 APC presidential ticket in writing but failed to honor it.
