Amaechi Agrees to Serve as Atiku’s Vice‑Presidential Candidate​

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has selected former Transportation Minister Chibuike Amaechi as his running mate.

The former ADC chairman of Rivers State, Leader Sampson, confirmed the decision to DAILY POST on Saturday.

Amaechi had previously contested the ADC presidential primary but was defeated by the former vice president.

Before the primary, Amaechi stated that he had not entered the ADC presidential race with the intention of later becoming vice president.

He also strongly disputed the primary results, with some disgruntled party members claiming the vote had been rigged in favor of Atiku.

When asked whether Amaechi had accepted the vice‑presidential position, Leader Sampson replied simply, “yes.”
