Avoid Wike Scenario — Dele Momodu Raises Alarm Over ADC Aggression

The leaders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) have been instructed by former presidential candidate Dele Momodu to impose discipline within the coalition before it is too late.
According to reports, Momodu said that certain groups had brought aggression into the party in a statement posted on his 𝕏 Twitter on Tuesday headlined “My Candid Advice to ADC: Avoid Wike Scenario.”

The seasoned journalist questioned why certain organizations are demanding that a specific candidate receive the ADC presidential ticket.

Dele Momodu claims that the principal organizers of the coalition that approved ADC have pledged to make it an inclusive party that will respect democratic principles.

He emphasized that, unlike the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), no organization or individual will be permitted to wreak havoc within ADC.

“I was present when some members of Nigeria’s opposition political parties gathered in Abuja last year to adopt ADC as their new vehicle for driving out the ruling APC from power,” the statement stated. I paid close attention to all of the speeches. Nobody compelled anyone to enlist. The principal organizers pledged to maintain democratic principles and make the party accessible to everybody. Discipline will be enforced by ADC, and no individual or group would be permitted to wreak havoc as was the case in PDP.

“Hearing these lovely remarks made me really happy. I was pleased to see General David Mark, an Army veteran, as Chairman because I knew he wouldn’t put up with any crap. However, certain organizations have recently infused a nascent cooperation and collaboration of all with violence and boisterousness. If certain organizations insist on producing the top ticket by donation and coronation without election or persuasion, how can a coalition function? Why act as though one group can win national elections without the others by throwing tantrums and cursing at each other?

For this reason, ADC needs to step up and impose discipline before it’s too late. NYESOM WIKE used this tactic to keep the PDP in check until it was too late to remove or expel them. Instead of being a chaotic Fuji house, ADC ought to be a celebration of love.
