Rotimi Amaechi, the Vice Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has disclosed why he lost the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary to Bola Tinubu in 2022. In an interview on Mainland FM in Lagos, Amaechi stated that Tinubu emerged victorious because he made a mistake by listening to late President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to Amaechi, Buhari told him not to campaign and promised to announce him as his candidate. He said, "Buhari told me not to campaign and that he was going to announce me as his candidate. He told me that and put it in writing." This revelation sheds light on the reason behind Amaechi's defeat in the APC primary, as the result did not reflect his strength within the party.
