Abuja, Nigeria – Dumebi Kachikwu, wey be the presidential candidate for African Democratic Congress (ADC), don burst the bubble on top wetin he dey call the new political coalition wey don form inside the party. E don talk say this coalition na more like hijacking than wetin dem dey call unity.
Last Thursday, Kachikwu yarn with journalists for Abuja and as e clear dem say, the coalition wey dey formed led by former Senate President David Mark nor get any solid plan for power rotation. Na only wahala dem dey bring. According to am, dem just wan use this coalition to push former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as di flag bearer for 2027 presidential election.
“Dis one na pure truth. I dey challenge dem to come outside and talk say the 2027 ticket go go South. If dem no fit talk am, den na show dem dey carry come. Na who dem want deceive?” he talk sharply (Kachikwu no send anybody!).
The coalition, wey come together under pressure from big political players like Peter Obi and others for earlier talks, don dey raise eyebrows. Many members don ready to say them dey loyal to ADC, but wetin dem mean when dem no don formally join? Fancy talk, abi?
Kachikwu don clearly declare say he no go join any coalition wey no agree say di South go carry di flag. Him even hit am hard say as dem just finish Buhari tenure and Tinubu still dey reign, e no make sense to allow those old politicians to dey dictate who go carry di flag next.
“Dem use dem old school politics dey operate. Na wetin dem define politics be this? So na who dem wan make we be? As we dey for dis party, na victory na we dey find for di next election,” Kachikwu don talk loud and clear.
Wetin be di answer wey Kachikwu get? Dem say dem wan take back power (as if na dem be di owner of power!). E come dey vex say as dem dey talk, e never fit hear any commitment to give di South a shot for di flag bearer position for di next elections. Na wah!
With di way things dey go, e look like say dem dey prepare ground for another round of political gymnastics wey go just wind us down again. But Kachikwu don promise say if dem no fit get it right, him go carry di matter go court. “Dis one no be just political fight; e na moral fight.” Na die dem brush am pass say, “We need leaders wey really fit engage with di people, not just those wey dey rub minds for convenience.”
So as ADC dey prepare to confront di coming election, wetin go happen next dey on everybody mind. Na so politics for Naija dey be o, plenty drama, plenty talk, but one thing sure, we go dey here dey watch am like blockbuster movie!
