Mabel Oboh slams unprofessional reporting, reaffirms South-South unity, due process

AI Summary

The South‑South Zonal Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, Mabel Oboh, criticised media reports that suggested the zone’s leaders had endorsed former Rivers State governor Rotimi Amaechi for president. She clarified that while Amaechi communicated his presidential intention at a zonal meeting chaired by ADC National Leader John Odigie‑Oyegun, the discussion was a consultation, not an endorsement. Oboh emphasized that the party’s constitutional procedures must be followed and that the South‑South respects due process. The statement seeks to correct public perception and indicates that any formal endorsement would still need to follow party rules.
