Rotimi Amaechi, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential running mate, visits former Kogi West Senator Dino Melaye in Abuja for a courtesy call. Melaye announces the visit on his X account, saying Amaechi comes to his residence and posting the message: “Governor Rotimi Ameachi on a courtesy visit to SDM today. Arise and Shine.” Nigerian Eye reports that the meeting takes place in a closed-door setting, with no details released as of the time of publication.
The reports also provide context on Amaechi’s political role. Amaechi is selected as the running mate to ADC presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar after he places second in the party’s presidential primary. They note that Amaechi, together with third-placed candidate Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, alleges irregularities in the primary that produced Atiku as flagbearer. After the primary, Atiku reportedly reaches out to both Amaechi and Hayatu-Deen, urging them to unite for the 2027 presidential election. No source specifies the purpose or outcome of the Abuja meeting beyond confirming the visit itself.
