African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate in the 2023 presidential elections, Dumebi Kachikwu, has said he has long warned that the party is ‘bad market’ for those who he said joined the party ‘through the back door’ and tried to hijack the leadership.
Kachikwu who was reacting to the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), resolve not to recognise the David Mark led caretaker committee of the ADC, said the non recognition of the David Mark led NWC is just the beginning as there are several court cases against them up to the Supreme Court.
He said the only way they can win “is if the Supreme Court can change Monday to Saturday and Saturday to Tuesday”.
“I regret to inform you that the actions of these men have rendered any political aspiration through the ADC a nonstarter.”
He said the ADC landed into the current problem because Ralph Nwosu whose tenure as chairman of the African Democratic Congress lapsed on the 21st of August 2022 gave the ADC to men who had destroyed their parties and were seeking for another party with which to prosecute their grudge match against President Tinubu and the APC.
He said it is wrong to say Nigeria is heading towards a one-party state as there other parties like the PDP, Labour Party, NNPP, AA, AAC, SDP, ADP, APGA, Accord and many other parties out there.
He said they had concluded plans to conduct congresses where forms that were hitherto sold for N50,000 would now be sold for N500,000 all in a bid to disenfranchise the poor party faithful who originally held those positions.
“They have long told us that they seek political office to better the lot of the masses, yet they can’t be in a party where the masses hold way,” he added.
DAILY TRUST.
