The Vice-Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Rotimi Amaechi, has urged party members to put disputes over party primaries behind them and focus on winning the 2027 general elections.

Amaechi made the call in Abuja during the inauguration of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council on Friday, where he appealed to members to unite and work towards achieving the party’s electoral objectives.

He said continued disagreements over the primaries would distract members from the task ahead, insisting that the party must now concentrate on the elections.

The former Rivers State Governor also urged members of the campaign council to recognise the responsibility before them, noting that electoral success would require unity, determination and the ability to overcome challenges.

Amaechi warned that incumbent governments sometimes make the mistake of believing they cannot be removed from power.

Recounting his experiences during previous political campaigns under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Amaechi alleged that security officials had, on some occasions, prevented him from travelling.

He recalled an incident at Akure Airport where a military officer reportedly advised him to leave the area because his safety could not be guaranteed.

Amaechi said such experiences did not discourage him from pursuing his political activities, stressing that opposition politicians must be prepared to confront difficulties during election campaigns.

He urged members of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council to remain courageous, persistent and committed to their responsibilities ahead of the 2027 general elections.
