ADC presidential primary, shameless auction — Wala backs Amaechi’s rejection of results

A chieftain of the opposition African Democratic Congress, ADC, Ibrahim Garba Wala, has described the presidential primary of the opposition party as a shameless auction. 

Wala disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.

This comes as Rotimi Amaechi, a presidential aspirant of ADC and former Rivers State governor, on Tuesday rejected the primary on the ground that it failed to meet the standards of transparency and fairness.

Reacting, Wala backed Amaechi over his rejection of the primary. 

According to Wala, the primary was a “brazen, shameless auction that betrayed every value the ADC promised to uphold.” 

“What we witnessed during the primary elections was not a democratic primary; it was a brazen, shameless auction that betrayed every value the ADC promised to uphold.” 

He called on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to immediately wash his hands of what he described as “dirty, concocted primary election results.”
