The core supporters of Ameachi's 2027 presidential bid monitored the ADC primary election in Gombe state.
He urged former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to distance himself from the "shameless auction."
"What we witnessed during the primary elections was not a democratic primary; it was a brazen, shameless auction that betrayed every value the ADC promised to uphold."
He stated this while reacting to the development in a post on his Facebook page on Wednesday, May 27, 2026.
He called on Atiku to immediately wash his hands of what he described as "dirty, concocted primary election results."
Wala said ADC was involved in vote-buying and result-writing, the same thing they publicly criticize the ruling APC and INEC.
"The actors sent to conduct our own primaries became the very monsters we swore to fight."
He alleged that there is undisputed evidence of irregularities and voter disenfranchisement during the exercise.
He said the irregularities include the influx of hungry committee members, hotel situation room, weaponising religion and region against the poor, provocative regional Agenda, crude, audacious vote-buying, and victimization of new aspirants.
"Let us be completely clear about what is happening here: the primary beneficiary of these corrupt, engineered primaries is Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. This is by no means a coincidence. This systemic manipulation is part of the very reason why several prominent, principled politicians ran out of the party in the first place. It has become painfully clear that Atiku is desperate and is willing to go to any length to secure his last chance at a just four-year tenure."
Wala said the so-called ADC presidential primary result is a forbidden fruit, stating that it is highly poisonous to democracy.
