2027: Amaechi not endorsed as ADC South-South consensus presidential candidate – Obidient Elders

AI Summary

The Delta Obidient Elders’ Council denied rumours that former Rotimi Amaechi had been endorsed as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) South‑South consensus presidential candidate for the 2027 election. In a statement, Chairman Chief Chris Biose said a circulating video from COPDEM criticized the ADC zonal leadership but clarified that Amaechi only presented his presidential ambition at a meeting and no unanimous endorsement was adopted, as Chief John Odigie‑Oyegun halted the motion. The council urged all Nigerians, including opposition leaders and civil society, to cooperate with the ADC to strengthen governance and address economic and security challenges. The clarification indicates that the ADC’s South‑South presidential endorsement remains unresolved.
