Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi, has rejected the result of the presidential primaries of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Amaechi in a statement on his official X handle on Tuesday, alleged that the result was concocted, and did “not reflect the values that the ADC had pledged to uphold, to rescue Nigerians from the impunity and gross mismanagement that our country is currently facing in the hands of the ruling party.”

He is the second person to have disputed the outcome of the presidential primaries, which is yet to be announced at the time of filing this report.

Mohammed Hayatu-Deen had earlier rejected the result, saying he would boycott the presentation by the committee set up by the party to conduct it.

Amaechi said he had initially agreed to accept the outcome “if the process was free, fair, and transparent, and I stand by my word.”

He alleged that about eighty per cent of the party were not allowed to vote.

According to him, the idea of the ADC was to give the Nigerian people a platform, to amplify the voices of the downtrodden, and make Nigeria a better place for everyone irrespective of background, or religion.

“A party that criticises the ruling APC and INEC for vote buying, rigging and writing of results, cannot be engaged in vote buying, writing of results, and other electoral malpractices that lead to disenfranchisement of voters who are party members. This is not acceptable!” the former minister said.
