‘ADC Yet To Verify Alleged Rigging In Presidential Primary,’ Spokesman On Amaechi, Hayatu-Deen Fraud Allegations

SaharaReporters earlier reported that Hayatu-Deen, on Tuesday, rejected the ongoing presidential primary process of the party, alleging widespread electoral manipulation and irregularities across the country.

The National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Bolaji Abdullahi, has said that the party does not have enough evidence to support or deny allegations of widespread rigging in its ongoing presidential primary election.

Abdullahi’s remarks followed allegations of mass rigging of the ongoing presidential primary election of the party raised by two presidential aspirants, businessman Mohammed Hayatu-Deen and former Minister of Transportation and former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi.

SaharaReporters earlier reported that Hayatu-Deen, on Tuesday, rejected the ongoing presidential primary process of the party, alleging widespread electoral manipulation and irregularities across the country.

Hayatu-Deen announced on Tuesday that he would not attend the official declaration of the ADC presidential primary results, citing alleged large-scale vote rigging and compromised procedures during the exercise.
