Presidential Screening: I’ll fight to finish – Amaechi on crisis in ADC

An African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential aspirant, Rotimi Amaechi, has downplayed the possibilitlities of a crisis within the party.

Amaechi, a former Minister of Transportation, said he would stay and fight in the eventuality of any crisis in the ADC.

The former governor of Rivers State made this known after he was screened by the ADC presidential committee on Wednesday in Abuja.

Speaking with journalists after the screening, Amaechi said: “Running away from the party is not the solution because wherever you want to go, you will face the same elements. What is the solution then? The solution is to fight them. So, when you say crisis, I don’t believe there is a crisis in the ADC.”

Prior to the commencement of ADC’s presidential nomination forms, there were claims of possible leadership crisis within the party.

Amid these allegations, former presidential candidates, Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso had defected to the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC.

Following the allegations, spokesman of ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi dismissed claims of a crisis within the party.
