Ibe disclosed that delegates will decide the fate of Atiku, Peter Obi and Rotimi Amaechi, who are expected to battle for the presidential ticket of the ADC.
Paul Ibe, spokesperson for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has revealed that the decision on who secures the presidential ticket of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition will ultimately rest with its coalition members.
Ibe disclosed that delegates will decide the fate of Atiku, Peter Obi and Rotimi Amaechi, who are expected to battle for the presidential ticket of the ADC.
Speaking on Trust TV, Ibe said the leaders already reached a compromise on the need to make sacrifices before the coalition was launched.
After the unveiling of ADC as the coalition’s platform, Atiku, Obi, and Amaechi hinted on running for the presidency on the party’s platform.
However, Ibe said the contest will be democratic.
He said: “It is the delegates of the party, whether it is a direct or indirect primary, they are the ones who are going to determine the fate of these leaders.
“All of these two fighting or three fighting will be settled by the delegates.
“Maybe it’s because of the fact that we lost the essence of what democracy is all about because of what Tinubu and his administration has been doing.
“Everybody is being railroaded into a one-party state. It’s about choice, people have the right to choose.”
