Sumner Sambo, a political editor, has suggested that members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) think about switching to a different platform.
Sambo offered the guidance on Monday during an appearance on “The Morning Show” on Arise News.
He listed ongoing conflicts that pose serious threats to opposition stakeholders who support the party, such as doubts about the legality of the party’s leadership and distinct court lawsuits contesting its executive structure.
Sambo cautioned that the ADC is now beset by a number of structural and legal issues that could make it less effective as a coalition vehicle.
Sambo continued, “The issues within the ADC are mostly self-inflicted, even though the ruling All Progressives Congress, or APC, may benefit from the opposition’s chaos.”
“I think if they have very good strategies, they will start thinking of looking for another political party to adopt at the moment because the problems are numerous,” he stated.
Remember, I had a one-on-one with someone who has been traveling with the ADC quite successfully just last week.
He told me that, in addition to the problems we are discussing with Nafi Bala Gombe, there is another case that asserts Ralph Nwosu was an illegitimate or illegal executive. Therefore, the case exists independently of this.
“I would have assumed that before entering the ADC, they had strategy that looked at all of this. However, the alphabetical order makes the ADC appealing to me.
Remember that they did the same thing when the APC was being established in 2013. They search for a political party whose name would be elevated so that the PDP’s name will be lowered.
I wouldn’t suggest that they move forward with the ADC at this time because it has a lot of issues, might be difficult, and isn’t the APC’s fault.
“Let’s be honest and impartial. The leaders of the ADC were aware of some of this, but the APC is benefiting from the challenge. Additionally, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai stated that they already had another party when he appeared on Arise News during the formation.
“I’ve heard that they have been attempting to contact Seriake Dickson’s Nigerian Democratic Congress.
They should also exercise extreme caution because, according to what I’ve heard from others, the new registered parties were registered by an act of court in these other courts. If they do approach some of those parties, someone might go back and contest or appeal some of the cases that resulted in the INEC registration of these parties.
However, is this how we should be? No, it’s intriguing that you are aware.
