Former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has picked the Presidential Nomination Form of the African Democratic Congress at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
In a post on its official X account on Saturday, the ADC said party chieftain, John Oyegun, picked the form in the company of former Minister of Environment, Mohammed Abdullahi, Senator Nura Abatemi, Hon. Asita, Ike Bishop Okoronkwo, Chief Executive Officer of Bishop Plus Media Services, alongside other political stakeholders and supporters.
Party officials were seen holding the official ADC forms at the national headquarters in Abuja as supporters wearing branded caps gathered during the formal process.
The development signals Amaechi’s entry into the 2027 presidential race under the ADC platform, following growing support from the party’s South South chapter and ongoing consultations within opposition circles ahead of the next general election.
Amaechi, who previously served as Governor of Rivers State and Minister of Transportation, is expected to emerge as one of the leading opposition figures ahead of the party’s presidential primaries.
The former minister could face competition from former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, should both politicians contest the ADC presidential ticket.
