Amaechi joins ADC presidential race, picks N90m nomination form

A former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has obtained the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential  nomination form.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that a former governor of Edo, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, led other prominent political stakeholders.
to collect the form on Amaechi’s behalf at the party’s national secretariat on Friday in Abuja.

The forms were presented to Amaechi’s representatives by the ADC Deputy National Organising Secretary, Atiku Mohammed.

NAN also reports that with this development, Amaechi has become the second aspirant in the ADC presidential contest, after Mohammed Hayatu-Deen had earlier obtained the expression of interest and nomination forms.

NAN recalls that ADC had been embroiled in leadership crises and multiple court cases.

The development had forced notable members, including Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, to defect to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).

However, ADC National Publicity, Bolaji Abdullahi, had described the defection of Obi and Kwankwaso as a premeditated move, unrelated to the party’s internal wrangling.

In spite of the ongoing disputes and pending court cases, ADC National Chairman Sen. David Mark, however, assured members that the party would participate in the 2027 general elections. (NAN)(
