2027: ADC Not Pursuing A Northern Agenda – Abdullahi
The spokesperson for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Bolaji Abdullahi, has refuted claims that the party is working in the interest of the country’s northern region.
Abdullahi, who was a guest on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, described the insinuations as unfounded.
The ADC spokesperson was reacting to a former presidential candidate of the ADC, Dumebi Kachikwu, who accused the party of pushing a northern agenda.
Kachikwu alleged that the ADC, which was recently adopted by the opposition coalition for the 2027 election, is a plot to return power to the country’s northern region.
However, the ADC spokesman listed some key members of the party who are from the southern region, a scenario it said reflects the national spread of the coalition.
Abdullahi accused the government of trying to cause divisions in the party but said the ADC is aware of and working to counter the moves.
Abdullahi said, “You see, it’s ridiculous to say the least, and he [Dumebi Kachikwu] should be ashamed of himself.
“ADC is a party, and we said this from day one, it’s neither a party of the North nor of the South.
“It’s neither a party of Muslims nor of Christians. It’s neither a party for old people, so it’s a party that is deliberately designed to develop and build the kind of future that Nigeria desires.”
