Atiku Meets Amaechi After ADC Presidential Primary

On Thursday, Atiku Abubakar, the winner of the recent African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential primary, held a meeting with his main rival, former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi. Atiku's victory came at the expense of businessman Moham Hayatu Deen, who secured the party's ticket.

However, Amaechi publicly rejected the outcome of the primary, alleging that the process was marred by irregularities. During the meeting, Atiku called on Amaechi and other aggrieved members of the party to close ranks and work together in preparation for the 2027 general elections.

The details of the discussions from Thursday's meeting remain unclear as neither Atiku nor Amaechi provided a briefing to journalists about the outcome. Nonetheless, party sources indicated that the meeting was part of ongoing efforts by Atiku to reconcile with aggrieved stakeholders and secure Amaechi's support ahead of the presidential poll.
