The African Democratic Congress, (ADC), has put down the lack of movement by state governors in defection to the party to alleged intimidation from the federal government.
ADC National Publicity Secretary Malam Bolaji Abdullahi alleged this on on Saturday in Abuja at the third plenary session of the Northern Political Consultative Group (NPCG), themed: ‘Peace and social cohesion: A panacea to challenges of the North.’
“No serving governor would be willing to cross over because of the intimidation that they are facing.
“We know what they are doing to them. Some of them who cannot jump to their party are saying we are endorsing their presidential candidate. No problem. But what you are seeing is a conspiracy against the Nigerian people.
“The ADC welcomes everybody, but we are convinced that we are a movement that has the backing of the majority of Nigerians who are not happy with the direction this country is going,” Abdullahi declared.
