Former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami meets Rotimi Amaechi in a closed-door meeting at Amaechi’s residence in Abuja on Friday. Multiple outlets report the discussions involve the African Democratic Congress (ADC), with both Malami and Amaechi described as party chieftains. The reports say details of what is discussed are not immediately available, and no specific outcomes are confirmed.
The meeting is also presented as part of broader ADC consultations ahead of the 2027 general elections. One report links the timing to Amaechi’s recent political engagements, including a prior visit in Abuja by Amaechi to former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal on Thursday. Another source notes that the ADC unveiled Amaechi as running mate to its presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar for the 2027 election.
Additionally, outlets state the ADC has uploaded the names of Atiku and Amaechi on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) nomination portal, indicating formal progress toward the election process. As of the time of reporting, all sources say the specific content of Malami and Amaechi’s meeting cannot be ascertained.
