Former Minister of Transportation and African Democratic Congress (ADC) vice-presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, has attributed his defeat in the 2022 All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary to his decision to rely on an assurance from the late President Muhammadu Buhari that he would emerge as the party’s presidential candidate.
Amaechi gave the warning on Wednesday while addressing the ADC National Women League Conference in Abuja, where he charged party members to intensify grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general election.
Chairman of the ADC in Omuma Local Government Area, Felix Ekpendu, made the accusation on Saturday, September 5, while condemning a reception organised in honour of Wike at Omagwa in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Sowore, who spoke during a session at the ongoing Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) conference in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, accused Nigerian politicians of misleading citizens about the benefits of subsidy removal and challenged them to account for the use of resources saved from the policy.
Amaechi says the Presidency would never have publicly confronted the Sultan of Sokoto over comments similar to Cardinal Onaiyekan's.
ADC vice-presidential candidate accuses Tinubu's camp of deploying "attack dogs" to intimidate the Catholic Church and silence Christian leaders.
