The Chinese Embassy has denied supporting Rotimi Amaechi, the Minister of Transportation, in his presidential bid.
The Embassy in Abuja issued a statement claiming that claims of its backing for the presidential candidate were false.
Some news had been circulating that the Chinese was backing Amaechi. The embassy, on the other hand, advised Nigerians to dismiss such stories.

A statement by the Embassy reads partly: “The attention of the Embassy of China has been drawn to a misleading report on an online news portal, alleging that Rotimi Amaechi, Hon. Minister of Transport of Nigeria and one of the aspirants to the 2023 Presidential Election, “has secured the backing of the Chinese Government”, and “…several meetings were held between Amaechi’s allies and the Chinese Government”, even claiming that ‘China needs to … install its dominance in Africa.’
“The general public is kindly reminded to ignore it and keep vigilant on this kind of fake news, which is fabricated with ulterior motives.
“With respect to Nigeria’s democratic political system, we are confident on the capacity of the Nigerian Government and people of organizing and conducting a successful general election.”
