Atiku Abubakar and Amaechi Meet Over ADC VP Slot
Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), and former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi held a closed-door meeting in Abuja amid negotiations regarding the selection of a vice presidential running mate. This meeting follows the conclusion of the party's presidential primaries held in April, where Atiku Abubakar emerged as the victor over Amaechi.
The discussions are reportedly aimed at consolidating the party's national appeal as they prepare for the 2027 presidential race. Sources indicate that Atiku has opted to allow the party leadership to drive the final decision regarding the vice presidential slot, with Amaechi remaining a leading contender on the shortlist.
