Former Governor of Borno State and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, has dismissed the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a fragile political experiment driven by clashing presidential ambitions.

He predicted that the party will ‘die down in three months.’

He spoke in an interview yesterday on a national television.
Sheriff laughed off speculation linking him to the ADC, stressing that the party lacks political weight, institutional structure, or staying power.

“You said people are mentioning my name, that I was going to the ADC. Wrong. Which ADC? Do they have a political party?” he asked.

“Give them three months. The party will die down because all of them are ‘presidential materials’. And it is only one person that is going to be a presidential candidate among them.”

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai and others are exploring the new political platform-the ADC in replicate what the APC achieved a decade ago.

According to him, unlike APC which emerged through the merger of parties with governors and national structures, ADC has no such foundation.

“When we were coming to form the APC, there were almost 15 state governments involved. President Bola Tinubu came with four states. All Nigeria Peoples Party(ANPP) came with about five or six. Breakaway PDP came with four. Today, we have 73 senators, a clear majority in the House of Reps, and more than 20 states,” he said.

He described the current push within ADC as a gathering of individual presidential hopefuls with no united base or viable electoral pathway.

“They all want to be president at all costs. They have a right to aspire, but as far as this politics is concerned, they don’t exist. ADC does not exist.”

Lol. Tinubu should dare go ahead to replace Shettima as planned and then see what Ali Modu Sheriff's position would be. As things stand, Tinubu has been intimidated into sticking with Shettima even against his will. He's currently between a rock and a hard place. Atiku will still sweep the Northeast notwithstanding.

The presidency is not for dunes . Ali will be roasted if he tries nonsense. Tinubu is in power now and know that he needs to do to stay in power . He won't talk much but you will see his actions everywhere when the time comes. You can't intimidate someone of his own calibre. He will fight back

Nijaforward:
ADC is really making us happy as it’s already a big problem to anything APC and by the time ADC catch them by fire they will know it’s not a joke and with the consequences of their bad governance in waiting

ADC is already collapsed. The moment you hear people like Peter Obi saying he is still in labour party that ADC is meant for 2027. It means they didn't trust ADC arrangement enough to collapse their structure onto it.
