Atiku Picks Amaechi as ADC Running Mate

Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has reportedly selected former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, as his running mate.

The development was confirmed to DAILY POST on Saturday by the immediate past ADC Chairman in Rivers State, Leader Sampson.

Amaechi had earlier contested in the ADC presidential primary but was defeated by the former Vice President. Before the primary, he had stated that he did not purchase the ADC presidential nomination form with the intention of settling for the vice-presidential slot.

Following the primary, Amaechi strongly criticized the outcome of the election, as some aggrieved party members alleged that the process was manipulated in favour of Atiku Abubakar.

However, when asked whether Amaechi had accepted the position of vice-presidential candidate, Leader Sampson responded in the affirmative, saying, “Yes.”
