ABUJA- THE 2023 Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dumebi Kachikwu, has taken a swipe at Coalition leaders who took over control of the party as the platform to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027, challenging the promoters to be courageous enough to announce that the party will field a Southern presidential candidate in the next election.

Addressing Journalists on Thursday in Abuja, Dumebi Kachikwu who described the opposition figures, led by former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and taking over the ADC, as ‘enemies of Nigeria., said that from the beginning, the coalition was tailored towards producing Atiku Abubakar as the candidate of the party in 2027, just as he said that Nigerians are all victims of unjust system.

He said, “These people are being sponsored against us Nigerians, they are all friends, they attend the same meetings, weddings, parties, they are all old friends. We are all victims of an unjust system. Atiku and Tinubu are not my problem, their generation is my problem.”

Amidst the present political crisis rocking the party, Kachikwu has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to inform Nigerians who the current National Chairman of the ADC.

According to the ex-presidential candidate, said that the opposition politicians — some of whom have held political offices in the past — are not going to take the country forward, stressing that Nigerian youths, who form the largest demographic, are not part of the coalition, adding, “the same people who put our country on its knees are the same people who claim they are fire brigade and they want to put out fire. And you think these people are out to rescue Nigeria? They are political jobbers.”

Kachikwu said, “There are also those who believe that by way of force, people can come in and take over the party. I just want to say before I start taking questions from journalists here present, I am not one who is easily cowed. For those who have been threatening me since yesterday, for those who on social media believe that I can be bullied, for people like People Gazette who have sent messages threatening that they are publishing a story about tax evasion, the same story they published 2 or 3 years ago in America, I will say to them very clearly now that at least I will assess taxes that they are claiming $2.7 million in America.

“The people that they are promoting, they should show you where they pay taxes, the business they do and their means of livelihood. To those who continue to believe that politics in Nigeria should continue by way of bullying, threats and aggressive forms of behavior, I want to tell you that we need to move away from this style and this brand of politics in Nigeria. You cannot continue to cow people on social media.

“You are the vocal minority and the silent majority will continue to have their way in Nigeria. You cannot bully people into going your way. As a party, I have here William, who is chairman of Benue State, Musa, the state chairman of Niger State, William from Nasarawa State here, I have Mohamed, who is also the national PRO of Etibok, chairman of Akwa Ibom, Mohamed Bono, and Zaradine Jigawa.

“These people you see here are people they call ordinary Nigerians, common men, who are the people who have been the guardians, custodians of this party. They are the people you saw yesterday when Mosu said that all their offices have been dissolved so that these new people can take over the party. Just imagine the situation.

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of Labour Party in 2023 election, Peter Obi, former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi and ex-Kaduna State governor, Nasir el-Rufai, had on Wednesday taken over control of African Democratic Party, ADC, as the platform to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

They don't need to announce until 2026. We all know Atiku is going to be the flag bearer via primaries. The coalition is all about him and only for him. Atiku's boys are on socialmedia and TV are already promoting their leader.

You too cry abeg. No disturb us with propaganda and showing all your members shouting themselves hoarse in all locations.

Even your kachichukwu go defect to ADC .

Una go cry blood.

Tinubu will be booted out totally without prejudice.

You did it to Jonathan....same will happen to TINUBU.

Karma is real.

And that's fine. Its politics. Its not a do or die affair. Soldier go, soldier come, barracks go remain.

The Kachikwu guy will be the Lamidi Apapa of ADC. Q

Yes we are agree they are enemies of Nigeria
Can we rest?

Obi and his people will be played. Atiku would be ADC candidate. Kenneth okonkwo knows that too. Tinubu will be reelected and crying margination will dominated the air again. Suddenly Biafra agitation will rent the air as usual just because of nzogbu nzogbu politics. South east will go into full political instinction.

Why being civil? Is it because you know that it will be brutal for you losers? Everyday you insult IGBO and their values.

You insulted Atiku.

Who didn't you insult!!!

Your candidate (TINUBU) failed totally and exposed you all as empty barrels.

You can NEVER win...and the New dispensation will NOT entertain your useless conjectures

Tinubu is not losing. You can take that to the bank. Wetin concern me with Igbos. Igbos would be the losing block in the coalition as expected.

Even TINUBU knows that your rants are irrelevant and baseless.

Your consolation is very weak..

ADC has been propelled because of the foolish rulership of TINUBU and his bigoted reasoning.

Let him Pick a Northern Muslim...
We wan see if na IMAM him go pick.

It's not instinction..it's extinction .. illiterates that claim sophisticated.

Losers.

There is a reason why Otti said he is sticking with labour party. You would think he would follow his principal to ADC , but he knows that would be political suicide.

So who is the labour party Presidential candidate, now that Peter Obi is officially in ADC? Will Otti work for Tinubu or PO?

I ask ..who will rig in Abia STATE of SE/SS, when your TINUBU is holding Nnamdi Kanu , illegally? The only person that will upset the coalition in the SE and SS is Nnamdi Kanu.

Even orji uzor kalu is treading softly with his statements.

You guys are strictly in your SW and MID-WEST region. Una no get level.

Nonsense

If Atiku wants to contest for the president in 2027, he will remain in PDP.

Which party won most seats in Abia local government elections?

Was it Labour party?

You guys know nothing about Abia state.

Otti doesn't need to change any party to be reelected. The coalition is mostly targeted towards the presidency, so nothing concern Otti with it.

Na so una cry for Jonathan regime..say IGBO are in charge.

Na so una go cry again...

You dey mind them...

Their brain dey their wallet...

Very tiny and useless...

All politicians at whatever level are enemies of Nigeria. They do not mean, and have never meant Nigeria well. Their only interest is our common patrimony and nothing more.

Atiku doesn't believe in power rotation.
He has already been vice president.
He is the biggest politician in that coalition
He came second in the election
The coaliton is his
He would ultimately be the flag bearer.

Peter Obi will likely be the biggest loser of the coalition.

But we have seen some politician resigning from their party to join ADC. They are not contesting for presidency yet they resigned. Make it make sense.

The fear in the APC camp is palpable

We can taste the fear from over here in my living room hahaha 🤣😂

Tilumbu is OTP no long talk 😏
