2027: S’South ADC Leaders Endorse Amaechi’s Presidential Ambition

AI Summary

South‑South leaders of the People’s Democratic Congress (ADC) announced their endorsement of former Rivers State governor and ex‑Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi’s presidential ambition. The endorsement was communicated by ADC national leader and former Edo State governor John Odigie‑Oyegun during a consultative meeting in Benin City, where he said a unanimous decision was taken to give Amaechi full support. Amaechi had earlier indicated his willingness to serve one term if he secures the ADC ticket and has called for a southerner to be the party’s candidate. The endorsement positions Amaechi as a leading contender within the ADC ahead of the party’s candidate selection process for the 2027 presidential election. The party is expected to consider this support as it moves toward its internal primaries.
