BREAKING: 2027: ADC officially announces Amaechi as Atiku’s running mate
The party said the ticket combines two experienced statesmen and aims to offer Nigerians a credible alternative focused on security and economic revival.
- On Monday, the African Democratic Congress officially named former Minister of Transportation Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi as vice-presidential running mate to presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar for the 2027 general election.
- Following extensive party consultations, the ADC selected Amaechi after his runner-up finish in the presidential primaries, describing the partnership as a 'unity and rescue ticket' aimed at offering Nigerians an alternative.
- Amaechi brings extensive experience as former Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, two-term Governor of Rivers State, and national Minister of Transportation leading rail modernization initiatives.
- Strategically, the pairing creates a North-East/South-South coalition with Atiku from Adamawa State and Amaechi from Rivers State, which the party believes will enhance national appeal and energize opposition against the ruling All Progressives Congress .
- This announcement follows weeks of speculation and revives comparisons to the 2023 election cycle, when Atiku previously selected then-Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as his running mate before eventually losing to President Bola Tinubu.
