…Pleads with el-Rufai. others to retrace his steps
Former North-West Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and now a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kaduna State, Dr. Salihu Lukman, has said the African Democratic Congress (ADC) cannot defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna the way the coalition party is currently being run.
He, therefore, pleaded with the likes of Nasir el-Rufa’i, Ja’afaru Sani, Bashir Sa’idu and others to retrace their steps and unite.
In a statement he signed and issued to newsmen in Kaduna to mark the 65th anniversary of the country’s independence, the ADC chieftain noted that the ADC in the state is only building a party whose business is limited to producing candidates.
“Instead of working to build the party, we are setting ourselves to produce a party whose business will be limited to presenting candidates for elections.
“People with ambition to contest elections have become restless and want to dominate the process of developing the structures of the party to the exclusion of their opponents.
“The madness of controlling the structures of ADC is the biggest threat before us. For whatever reason, those of us who want the ADC to be an equal opportunity party are being condemned. Sadly, some of our leaders, instead of providing fair leadership, are taking sides with strengthening aspiring candidates for the 2027 elections across the state to the exclusion of others.
“I want to use the opportunity of this independence anniversary to appeal to all of us to stop this madness of trying to take over the structures of ADC and control it to the exclusion of so-called opponents”.
