Freshly declared African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on Thursday visited former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi at his residence in Abuja in a bid to unify the party following a contentious presidential primary.
Atiku was accompanied by notable party figures, including Senator Aminu Tambuwal and Chief Ralph Nwosu, among other leaders, for what sources described as strategic consultations aimed at strengthening the opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The visit comes shortly after Atiku was declared the winner of the ADC presidential primary, polling significantly ahead of Amaechi and businessman Mohammed Hayatu-Deen.
Both Amaechi and Hayatu-Deen have rejected the results, alleging irregularities, voter disenfranchisement, and manipulation.
Videos and photos circulating on social media show Atiku and his delegation at Amaechi’s residence, signaling an effort to mend fences and bring key stakeholders on board.
This is not the first meeting between the two politicians. Atiku had previously visited Amaechi in April, describing him as a “statesman” whose service to the nation remains impactful.
Political analysts view the latest engagement as a critical step towards party cohesion, especially as the ADC positions itself as a formidable alternative to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next election cycle.
Further details on the outcome of the closed-door discussions are yet to be made public. Amaechi is yet to issue an official statement following the visit.
