Amaechi Claims Buhari Promised APC Presidential Ticket in 2022

Rotimi Amaechi, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) vice-presidential candidate, has claimed that President Buhari promised him the APC presidential ticket in 2022. According to Thisdaylive.com, Amaechi made this assertion, blaming his defeat in the 2022 APC presidential primary on his decision to listen to Buhari’s advice. However, Bashir Ahmad, a former presidential aide, has refuted Amaechi’s claims, urging him to take responsibility for his own political choices instead of blaming the President. Daily Post Nigeria reports that Ahmad stated Amaechi should not shift the blame to Buhari. This story raises questions about the inner workings of the APC during the 2022 presidential primary and the dynamics between key political figures.
