AI Summary

Political economist Prof. Pat Utomi of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) stated that the party's South‑South zone has not formally endorsed former Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi for the ADC presidential ticket. The claim was made after a regional meeting in Edo State attended by Amaechi and led by former APC National Chairman Chief John Odigie‑Oyegun. Utomi said the zone did not take a unanimous decision to support Amaechi, contrary to statements made at the meeting. The clarification may affect Amaechi’s campaign strategy as he seeks the ADC nomination for the 2027 presidential election.
