The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has officially announced Rotimi Amaechi, the former Governor of Rivers State and former Minister of Transport, as the vice-presidential candidate alongside Atiku Abubakar for the 2027 general elections. This announcement was made on a Monday by Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC's National Public Secretary, following a period of speculation and consultations within the party.
