ADC Considers Rotimi Amaechi as Atiku’s Running Mate

After the ADC presidential primary, party leaders have urged former Rivers State governor Rotimi Amaechi to accept the vice-presidential slot alongside Atiku Abubakar. Atiku met Amaechi soon after securing the nomination to seek his support. Sources say the final decision will wait until Atiku returns from his overseas trip. Other names in contention include Emeka Ihedioha, Senator Austin Akobundu and Chief Emeka Nwajuba. ADC strategists believe Amaechi’s South-South roots could balance the ticket against opponents from the Southwest and Southeast. Observers note Amaechi’s past role in the Buhari campaign may help draw discontented APC members to the ADC. If all goes as planned, Amaechi could be unveiled once Atiku is back, setting the stage for active campaigning.
