Breaking: ADC Picks Amaechi As Atiku’s Running Mate For 2027 Polls

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has selected former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi as the running mate to its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, for the 2027 general election. The party announced the decision yesterday, following its presidential primaries where Amaechi emerged runner-up. ADC National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi described the partnership as a strategic alliance of two tested statesmen.

“The proposed partnership between His Excellency Atiku Abubakar and Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi represents more than a political alliance; it is the coming together of two tested statesmen with the experience, national reach and leadership capacity required to rescue Nigeria from its current challenges,” Abdullahi said. He highlighted Amaechi’s service as Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, two-term governor, and Minister of Transportation, adding that the ticket bridges regions and political traditions. The ADC called on Nigerians to support its campaign ahead of the 2027 elections.
