Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Thursday visited former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi at his Abuja residence following the conclusion of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential primary election.
Atiku, who recently emerged as the ADC presidential candidate for the 2027 general election, was accompanied during the visit by former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal, former ADC National Chairman Ralph Nwosu, and other party leaders.
The meeting came amid reactions trailing the just-concluded ADC presidential primary held at the Congress Hall of Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, where Atiku defeated Amaechi and former banker Mohammed Hayatu-Deen to secure the party’s ticket.
According to official results announced by the party on Wednesday night, Atiku polled 1,846,370 votes, while Amaechi secured 504,117 votes and Hayatu-Deen received 177,120 votes.
Following the declaration of results, the party leadership under former Senate President David Mark formally presented the ADC flag to Atiku.
The ADC adopted a direct primary system after the three aspirants reportedly rejected calls for a consensus arrangement before the election.
