2027: ADC will die after 6 months – Presidency
The Presidency says the newly formed opposition coalition party, the African Democratic Congress, ADC, will not last the test of time, stressing that it will collapse within six months due to a lack of ideology.
Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, featuring on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’, said the Vice-Presidential candidate of Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 elections, Datti Baba-Ahmed, had already sensed the looming crisis.
It will be recalled that Baba-Ahmed on July 4, said the battle for a presidential candidate could pose a major challenge for the ADC, warning that the excitement trailing the coalition should be managed and that citizens should not be consumed by it.
Reacting, however, the presidential aide refuted any threat from the ADC, emphasizing that the coalition had been unable to present alternative policies that could convince Nigerians to vote for them.
“What I still find intriguing is that this coalition of internally displaced politicians has not been able to summon the courage to come up with alternative facts, alternative policies, or alternative programmes.
“Throughout the interview you had with Peter Obi, what I observed is that he has not been able to counter or disagree, in the real sense of the word, with the policies of the present government.
“They have not brought a single alternative policy to the table. All they do is criticise and issue press statements. The truth is, they lack vision and have not shown Nigerians they truly care,” he said.
Bwala also rubbished the opposition leaders’ threat to Tinubu’s presidency, stating that the newly-established alliance is unstable and unlikely to endure beyond six months.
