May 28, 2026

ABUJA — Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in the 2027 election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, on Thursday met with his major rival in the party’s presidential primary, former Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi.

Atiku emerged winner of the recently concluded ADC presidential primary, defeating Amaechi and businessman Mohammed Hayatu-Deen to clinch the party’s ticket.

Amaechi had, before the official declaration of the results, rejected the outcome of the exercise, alleging that the process was fraught with irregularities.

However, Atiku, in his acceptance speech after the primary, appealed to Amaechi and other aggrieved members of the party to close ranks and work together ahead of the 2027 general election.
