African Democratic Congress presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Dumebi Kachikwu, has hinted of his plan to drag the takeover of the party by former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, and other coalition members averse to President Bola Tinubu’s reelection.
Kachikwu dropped this hint while speaking to newsmen against the backdrop of the change of guard in ADC leadership proceeding from the adoption of the party as the platform on which to battle Tinubu for 2027 presidency.
Kachikwu who distanced himself from the glorious reception the leadership of former National Chairman of the party, Ralph Nwosu, gave the Atiku-led group said the arrangement smacked of illegality, adding that it was not in pursuit of public good but for self-aggrandizement.
“Yes, the option of court is absolutely on the table. We are exploring all avenues, and we will not rest until this injustice is reversed,” he said.
Before he added: “We’re asking INEC: Is there a chairman in this party, or is there a vacuum? If there is, then we need to convene a convention immediately to elect new leadership. That’s our pathway to resolving this crisis.
“For three years, INEC allowed Nwosu to appoint parallel chairmen. We’re now asking the same INEC to clarify who leads ADC. This time, they must act.”
