Presidential aspirants under the African Democratic Congress, ADC, have reportedly agreed to enter a concrete agreement to support whoever emerges as the party’s flagbearer.
One of the presidential hopefuls in the coalition movement,
Rotimi Amaechi, disclosed this to LEADERSHIP on Friday.
Recall that former vice president Atiku Abubakar, Amaechi
and former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi have all
declared their intentions to run for presidency under ADC.
Although there are rumours that the party will zone it’s
ticket to the north to allow Atiku contest against President Bola Tinubu, the
ADC’s interim national chairman, Senator David Mark said the party has no
preferred candidate.
The former Senate President assured ADC supporters that
under his leadership, the party would be “absolutely transparent.”
Amaechi clarified that the agreement to support whoever
emerges candidates would revolve around a common understanding of what a
transparent primary is, expressing fear that the process may be hijacked.
“What we agreed in principle, and I must say there is a need
to lay the cards on the table – what we agreed is that whoever emerges from a
transparent primary will be supported by everyone.
“But first, we need to sit down and define what we mean by
transparent because it’s easy for someone to hijack the process and still call
it transparent,” he said.
