Atiku Abubakar Selects Rotimi Amaechi as Running Mate

Atiku Abubakar, the leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has chosen Rotimi Amaechi as his running mate for the 2027 presidential election. This announcement was made public by the party's national secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, and follows broad consultations within the party.

Amaechi, who has a strong political background as a former two-term governor of Rivers State and former Minister of Transport, is expected to complement Atiku's leadership and strengthen the party's national appeal. His extensive experience in both the legislative and executive arms of government, including serving as the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, positions him as a credible alternative for Nigerians ahead of the upcoming elections.

The ADC is proud to announce Amaechi's selection, which reflects his widespread support among party members and aims to address Nigeria's current challenges through a united political alliance.
