The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed concerns over the silence of former Rivers State governor Rotimi Amaechi, insisting that he remains the party’s vice-presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.
ADC National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, said there was no crisis within the party and that Amaechi was under no obligation to publicly announce his acceptance of the nomination alongside the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Speaking on Trust TV’s Daily Politics, Abdullahi questioned the basis of the controversy, saying, “What do you want to hear? That he has accepted? Did he have a duty to announce that he has accepted?”
Amaechi was among the aspirants who contested the ADC presidential primary but rejected Atiku Abubakar’s emergence as the party’s flagbearer after the exercise.
However, shortly after the primary election, Atiku visited Amaechi, a move widely interpreted as part of efforts to reconcile party stakeholders and build consensus ahead
