Former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi has rejected the outcome of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential primary, alleging widespread voter disenfranchisement and electoral malpractice.

Amaechi, who contested the party’s ticket, claimed that the process was marred by irregularities that undermined the credibility of the exercise. He insisted that the results announced did not reflect the will of delegates and party members, stressing that democracy must be built on transparency and fairness.

His rejection of the primary results has sparked discussions about internal party democracy and the challenges of conducting credible primaries in Nigeria. Observers note that disputes over delegate lists, vote buying, and manipulation have long plagued party primaries across the country.
