Rotimi Amaechi, a former governor of Rivers State and former Minister of Transportation, visited Atiku Abubakar, the 2027 African Democratic Congress presidential candidate, at his home in Abuja on Monday. The visit brought together several political figures, including actor and politician Kenneth Okonkwo and other guests.
The purpose of the meeting was not disclosed as of the time the report was filed. However, both men have a history of political rivalry and cooperation within the same political space, especially during the ADC presidential primary election.
Amaechi had contested the ADC presidential ticket alongside Atiku Abubakar and Mohammed Hayatu-Deen. Atiku won the primary, while Amaechi came second and Hayatu-Deen placed third.
After the primary, both Amaechi and Hayatu-Deen raised concerns about the process, saying it was not fair. Despite this, Atiku later visited them separately and called for unity among party members ahead of future elections.
The latest meeting adds to ongoing political engagements among key opposition figures as they continue consultations and alignments ahead of the 2027 election season.
