The Youth Wing of the African Democratic Congress has rejected the opposition party coalition led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Senate President David Mark, former Governor of Rivers State Rotimi Amaechi, former Governor of Kaduna State Nasir El-Rufai, former Minister of Interior Rauf Aregbesola, and others.
Musa Matara, the spokesman for ADC, disclosed on Thursday at
a gathering of the party’s youth wing.
This comes as Wednesday, Atiku, Amaechi, David Mark, and
others adopted ADC as the opposition coalition to unseat President Bola Ahmed
Tinubu in 2027.
At the event, a faction of the party led by Raph Nwosu had
handed the leadership to the opposition coalition with David Mark as interim
chairman and Aregbesola as secretary.
Reacting, Matara said the party’s structure cannot be handed
to a coalition of what he described as old people who spoiled Nigeria in the
past.
According to him, the ADC youths and members will not
succumb to the hijacking of their party in the name of opposition coalition.
He faulted claims by Raph Nwosu that all executives of the
party have resigned their positions.
“The Opposition coalition were the people who spoilt
Nigerian government in the past.
“They are old politicians who have no ideology. ADC is a
party with ideology.
“We don’t want any new members to hijack the party.
“Who appointed the interim national chairman, Secretary and
others? Is it the National Executive Committee or the National Working
Committee?
“We are still in ADC; we don’t have any other party other
than ADC.
“They can come and join us, but not to hijack the party,” he
stated.
Earlier, the presidential candidate
of ADC at the 2023 election, Dumebi Kachikwu, said that the interim said that
the emergence of David Mark as the party’s factional interim national chairman
is a disservice to Nigerians.
He added that the aim of the opposition coalition was to
hand power to Atiku in 2027.
