2027: Atiku, Obi, Amaechi, others to sign agreement ahead of ADC primary election

Presidential aspirants under the African Democratic Congress, ADC, have reportedly agreed to enter a concrete agreement to support whoever emerges as the party’s flagbearer.

One of the presidential hopefuls in the coalition movement, Rotimi Amaechi, disclosed this to LEADERSHIP on Friday.

THE PURVEYOR reports that former vice president Atiku Abubakar, Amaechi and former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi have all declared their intentions to run for presidency under ADC.

Amaechi clarified that the agreement to support whoever emerges candidates would revolve around a common understanding of what a transparent primary is, expressing fear that the process may be hijacked.

“What we agreed in principle, and I must say there is a need to lay the cards on the table – what we agreed is that whoever emerges from a transparent primary will be supported by everyone.

“But first, we need to sit down and define what we mean by transparent because it’s easy for someone to hijack the process and still call it transparent,” he said.
