A prominent Nigerian political figure, Rotimi Amaechi, has emphasized the need for internal democracy within the African Democratic Congress (ADC), stating firmly that the party must conduct a proper primary election process ahead of forthcoming political contests.
Amaechi, who has remained a strong voice in Nigeria’s political landscape, stressed that credible primaries are essential for building trust within the party and among the electorate. According to him, allowing party members to freely choose their candidates through a transparent and fair process will not only strengthen the ADC internally but also position it as a viable alternative in Nigeria’s democratic space.
He warned against any attempt to impose candidates, noting that such practices often weaken political parties and erode public confidence. Amaechi maintained that adherence to democratic principles within party structures is critical if Nigeria’s political system is to progress.
Political observers say his statement comes at a time when many parties are preparing strategies ahead of future elections, making internal cohesion and credibility more important than ever.
The call for primary elections within the ADC is expected to spark discussions among party stakeholders, as members weigh the importance of unity, fairness, and due process in determining their flag bearers.
As Nigeria continues to evolve politically, voices like Amaechi’s highlight the ongoing demand for accountability, transparency, and inclusiveness in party politics.
