The Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, Sam Amadi, says African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has yet to publicly name former Transportation Minister, Rotimi Amaechi as his running mate.
Amadi said Nigerians are waiting for Atiku to make the announcement formally.
Posting on X, Amadi wrote: “@atiku is yet to publicly name @ChibuikeAmaechi as his VP. Maybe he will do so soon. We wait to hear him say so.”
The ADC named Amaechi, a former governor of Rivers State, as Atiku’s running mate for the 2027 general election on Monday. The choice was announced by ADC spokesman Bolaji Abdullahi, who said Amaechi was selected after extensive consultations with relevant stakeholders.
RISMADARVOICE observes, however, that the former vice president is yet to publicly confirm or unveil Amaechi as his running mate.
