Atiku Abubakar Meets Rotimi Amaechi Ahead of 2027 Elections

On Wednesday, October 18, 2023, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar held a closed-door meeting with former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi at Amaechi's residence in Abuja. The specifics of their discussion have not been revealed, but it is speculated that the meeting may be linked to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the upcoming presidential ticket for the 2027 elections.

The political landscape is currently competitive, with Atiku Abubakar and Amaechi, along with former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi, vying for the ADC's presidential candidacy. There are ongoing debates regarding whether the ADC's candidacy will be zoned to the southern region of Nigeria.

Additionally, there are unconfirmed claims that Amaechi may consider stepping down to support Atiku as a running mate in the forthcoming elections.
