I Won’t Accept ADC’s Presidential Primary Result – Rotimi Amaechi

Rotimi Amaechi

Former Minister of Transportation and presidential aspirant on the platform of the African Democratic Congress, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has rejected the outcome of the party’s presidential primary. He recently had his say via a press statement posted on X, and Nigerians have been reacting.

Accusing ADC leadership of disenfranchising members and manipulating the process, Amaechi stated that he cannot accept the concocted results following widespread reports about voter disenfranchisement during the primary across the country.

The former Rivers State governor added that almost 80 per cent of party members were denied the opportunity to vote during the exercise.

His word, “I had initially stated that I will only accept the outcome of the Primaries if the process was free, fair, and transparent, and I stand by my word.

I will not accept results from a process that does not reflect the values that the ADC had pledged to uphold, to rescue Nigerians from the impunity and gross mismanagement that our country is currently facing in the hands of the ruling party.

There’s no way that about eighty percent of members of the party were not allowed to vote, and you expect me to accept such results. Then what makes us different from the others?

A party that criticizes the ruling APC and INEC for vote buying, rigging and writing of results, cannot be engaged in vote buying, writing of results, and other electoral malpractices that leads to the disenfranchisement of voters who are party members. This is not acceptable!”

WOW.
