Amaechi, Hayatu-Deen Reject ADC Presidential Primary Results
Two presidential aspirants in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Chibuike Amaechi and Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, have rejected the outcome of the party’s presidential primary, alleging widespread irregularities.
Despite incomplete results from all states, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar maintains a significant nationwide lead, making it nearly impossible for Amaechi or Hayatu-Deen to catch up.
Amaechi, a former Minister of Transportation, said on X:
“Following reports of widespread voter disenfranchisement, I unequivocally reject the concocted results being announced… I will not accept results from a process that does not reflect the values the ADC pledged to uphold.”
He added that the ADC should remain a platform for amplifying the voices of the downtrodden and providing a credible alternative to the ruling party.
Hayatu-Deen also announced he would not attend the official announcement of the primary results, citing observed instances of vote rigging across the country.
