“They Burnt Our House, They Can’t Be Inside” — Kachikwu Rules Out Working with Atiku, El‑Rufai, Amaechi

Former ADC presidential candidate Dumebi Kachikwu has indicated that he is unable to work with significant opposition figures in the recently declared alliance, like as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Governors Rotimi Amaechi, and Nasir El-Rufai.
This was reportedly mentioned by Kachikwu on Thursday while fielding questions on Arise Television’s Morning Show.
The ADC leader highlighted that Nigeria requires fresh faces and new ideas, and he expressed his opposition to the opposition leaders.

Kachukwu said he will oppose the party’s control by “old politicians.”

“We require new ideas,” he said. New values are required. The people who set fire to our house cannot sit there. Firefighters will extinguish the fire.

I oppose them. With these people, I can’t work.

Yes, of course. I intend to take them to court.

Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Julius Abure-led branch of the Labour Party (LP) has given its 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, a 48-hour deadline to leave the party after aligning himself with a newly formed opposition coalition.

As previously reported, Obi was one of the leading political figures who met on Wednesday to decide to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the coalition party that would depose President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.

However, Obiora Ifoh, the National Publicity Secretary for the Abure-led faction, cautioned in a statement signed and released in Abuja on Thursday that Obi’s support for the coalition contradicts the faction’s stance, which has distanced itself from the alliance and referred to its members as “frustrated politicians” and “power mongers.”
