Serious trouble is looming in the African Democratic Congress,ADC, as former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has rejected the results of the party’s presidential primaries.
Amechi in a state via his X Handle said his decision is based on what he describes as widespread voter disenfranchisement and electoral malpractice.
The former Rivers State Governor described the outcome of the exercise as “concocted results.”
He pointed out that he had earlier made it clear that he would only accept the outcome of the primaries if the process was free, fair and transparent.
“I will not accept results from a process that does not reflect the values that the ADC had pledged to uphold,” he said.
According to him, about 80 percent of party members across the country were prevented from voting during the exercise.
Amaech further accused the party of engaging in practices it had previously condemned in the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
He argurd that the ADC cannot criticize vote buying, rigging and manipulation of election results by others while allegedly engaging in similar acts during its own primary.
