The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has revealed plans to conduct competitive primaries if Atiku Abubakar, Rotimi Amaechi, and Mr. Peter Obi fail to reach a consensus.
ADC National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, made the party’s position known on Thursday when he appeared as a guest on Arise Television.
Atiku, Amaechi and Obi have displayed their interest in the party’s presidential ticket.
He said the party would not be distracted by zoning debates or early presidential declarations by members.
Abdullahi stated that the priority of the ADC is building robust structures nationwide, stressing that leadership is about knowing what to do and when to do it.
“Atiku says he will run, Obi says he will run, Amaechi says he will run, that does not stop anyone else. What we are committed to is a level playing ground. We will pursue consensus, and if that fails, we will hold competitive primaries.
“For us, our focus now is building a fighting structure, not rushing into zoning conversations,” Abdullahi added.
