A former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has obtained the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential nomination form.
A former governor of Edo State, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, led other prominent political stakeholders
to collect the form on Amaechi’s behalf at the party’s national secretariat on Friday in Abuja.
The forms were presented to Amaechi’s representatives by the ADC Deputy National Organising Secretary, Atiku Mohammed.
With the development, Amaechi has become the second aspirant in the ADC presidential contest, after Mohammed Hayatu-Deen had earlier obtained the expression of interest and nomination forms.
ADC had been embroiled in leadership crises and multiple court cases.
The development had forced notable members, including Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, to defect to Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC.
However, ADC National Publicity, Bolaji Abdullahi, had described the defection of Obi and Kwankwaso as a premeditated move, unrelated to the party’s internal wrangling.
In spite of the ongoing disputes and pending court cases, ADC national chairman, Sen. David Mark, however, assured members that the party would participate in the 2027 general elections.
