Ultimately ABUJA — Former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi has rejected the outcome of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, primaries, describing the exercise as “concocted” and lacking credibility.
Amaechi, in a statement released Tuesday through his media office, faulted the conduct of the primaries, alleging irregularities that undermined the integrity of the process.
“I cannot in good conscience accept a result that emerged from a flawed and manipulated exercise. The so-called primaries were concocted to serve predetermined interests, not the will of genuine party members,” the statement read.
He called on the ADC leadership to cancel the results and conduct a fresh, transparent process that reflects true democratic principles. Amaechi warned that proceeding with the current outcome would damage the party’s credibility ahead of upcoming elections.
The former Rivers State Governor also urged party faithful to remain calm, assuring them that he would explore all lawful and political avenues to address the situation.
As of press time, the ADC National Working Committee had not issued an official response to Amaechi’s rejection of the results.
Party insiders say tensions have been building over the last week, with several aspirants raising concerns about delegate lists and accreditation procedures during the primaries.
