Representatives for African Democratic Congress presidential hopeful Atiku Abubakar have provided reasons for the delay in formally introducing Rotimi Amaechi as his vice-presidential choice. Abdulrasheed Shehu, a media aide to the candidate, stated via social media that the postponement stems from Abubakar’s current business travels.
This statement was issued to counter online claims suggesting internal party friction or a potential rejection of the offer by the former Minister of Transportation. The campaign team dismissed these rumors as misinformation, confirming that the Atiku-Amaechi ticket is finalized and that the official presentation will take place shortly after the candidate returns from his trip.
The clarification serves to resolve recent ambiguity regarding the ADC ticket for the 2027 election, which had been exacerbated by early, unconfirmed reports and a lack of immediate verification from party leadership.
