Amaechi made the remarks during the ADC Progressive Movement meeting in Lagos, where he addressed ongoing online exchanges allegedly involving supporters of former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. He explained that his followers have deliberately stayed away from online altercations based on his directive aimed at promoting peace and unity within the party. Amaechi said, “My supporters don’t engage in fights on social media. My people don’t fight. Have you seen any Amaechi person fighting on social media? It is between Atiku people and Obi people, and Obi people abusing me, we will never reply.” He added that the decision was not due to inability to respond but a conscious effort to prevent unnecessary division within the party. “It’s not because we don’t know English or we can’t reply. The reason why we don’t reply is that we always want peace,” he said. The former Rivers State governor also questioned the firm stance of some supporters who insist that the ADC presidential ticket must go to their preferred candidates. He said, “The Obidients insist ‘Obi or nothing.’ Do they have the numbers? That’s the question. The Atiku people say ‘Atiku or nothing.’ Do they have the numbers?” Amaechi stressed the importance of caution in political communication, noting that reconciliation after party primaries is often necessary. Expressing confidence in his chances, he said his camp believes it will secure the ADC presidential ticket, which is why his supporters have avoided engaging in insults or online battles. He said, “There are things to say when you win. It becomes difficult to bring everybody together, so because we know we will win, we’re not abusing anybody. So we can bring everybody together. “So that question should not be asked to me because I am not abusing anybody. I am careful what I say, my team is under permanent instructions, don’t abuse anybody in ADC.”
