Rotimi Amaechi, a presidential aspirant of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has rejected the party’s presidential primary results.

The ADC conducted a nationwide direct primary on Monday to pick its candidate for the 2027 presidential election, with former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, former managing director of the defunct FSB International Bank, and Amaechi as the main contenders.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, Amaechi alleged widespread voter disenfranchisement and electoral malpractice during the process, adding that the results are being “concocted”.
