- Amaechi rejects results
- Hayatudeen kicks
By Lateef Ibrahim, Abuja
Former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has emerged as the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Atiku polled 1, 846, 370 out of 2, 527, 977 votes cast by members in the primary.
Hon Rotimi Amaechi scored 504, 117 votes while Alhaji Mohammed Hayatu-Deen secured 177, 120 votes.
The number of registered ADC members stands at 3, 113, 599.
Amaechi has however rejected the result as declared, alleging that it was concorted.
Amaechi, a former Governor of Rivers State, based his rejection of the results of the ADC presidential primaries on what he called
widespread voter disenfranchisement in most parts of the country.
His words, “Following reports of widespread voter disenfranchisement in most parts of the country during the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Primaries yesterday, I unequivocally reject the concocted results being announced.
“I had initially stated that I will only accept the outcome of the Primaries if the process was free, fair, and transparent, and I stand by my word.
“I will not accept results from a process that does not reflect the values that the ADC had pledged to uphold, to rescue Nigerians from the impunity and gross mismanagement that our country is currently facing in the hands of the ruling party.
“There’s no way that about eighty percent of members of the party were not allowed to vote, and you expect me to accept such results. “Then what makes us different from the others? The whole idea of the ADC was to give the Nigerian people a platform, to amplify the voices of the downtrodden, and make Nigeria a better place for everyone irrespective of backgrounds, ethnicity, or religion.
“A party that criticizes the ruling APC and INEC for vote buying, rigging and writing of results, cannot be engaged in vote buying, writing of results, and other electoral malpractices that leads to the disenfranchisement of voters who are party members. This is not acceptable”, he said in a statement issued by him.
