A media entrepreneur Dumebi Kachikwu has defeated Kingsley Moghalu to emerge as the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

This is coming shortly after Moghalu boasted to retire the Presidential candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar respectively by defeating them in the 2023 elections.

Kachikwu scored 977 votes against Moghalu’s 589 votes in the party’s primary election.

Chukwuka Monye came third with 339 votes at the primary exercise in Abeokuta on Wednesday night.

Kachikwu’s victory was immediately slammed by opponents, who said the Roots Nigeria CEO “dollarised” the process by bribing delegates.

“I appreciate Prof. Moghalu and other credible aspirants for a spirited fight even though we didn’t make it. The fight to rescue this country from the brink of disaster is still on…. Monye is committed to this” Mr Monye said.

“Will communicate who we will support.”

Kachikwu is the younger brother of former minister Ibe Kachikwu.
