Atiku meets Amaechi as ADC tensions persist
Former VP Atiku Abubakar visited former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi in Abuja Thursday amid growing tensions over the ADC presidential ticket. The two held 'deep and honest conversations' about Nigeria's worsening economic and security situation, with Atiku describing Amaechi as 'my brother and compatriot.' Atiku also felicitated Amaechi on his birthday and exchanged banter about Arsenal FC's recent triumph. Amaechi remains noncommittal about the ADC ticket dispute, which he and Hayatu-deen rejected after Atiku's primary victory, alleging manipulation. The meeting appears aimed at preventing further fragmentation within the opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections. Will this visit bridge the gap in the ADC or deepen divisions in the opposition camp challenging President Tinubu's APC?
