Former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, has achieved a commanding victory in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential primary held in Rivers State. According to reports, Amaechi secured 115,650 votes, delivering a wide-margin win over other contenders, including Atiku Abubakar and Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, who trailed far behind in the delegate count.
Landslide Victory in Home State
The result underscores Amaechi's strong political influence and grassroots structure in Rivers State, where he remains a dominant force in party mobilization and delegate support. His overwhelming performance in the primary reflects his enduring popularity and organizational strength among party members.
Impact on Presidential Campaign
The Rivers outcome is expected to add early momentum to his campaign as the ADC presidential primary continues across other states. National collation of results is still ongoing, and party officials have yet to officially conclude and announce the final nationwide results. Amaechi's victory in his home state positions him as a formidable candidate in the race for the party's nomination.
The ADC, with its slogan "Arise and Shine," is counting on strong candidates like Amaechi to lead the party into the general elections. As the primary process unfolds, all eyes are on the former governor to see if he can replicate this success in other states.
