ADC Chieftain Urges Atiku, Obi to End Media Conflict

Austin Okai, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), called for the camps of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi to end their ongoing media war. In a statement released on Friday, Okai expressed concern that the escalating media exchanges could deepen political tensions and undermine the opposition's unity, particularly in light of the current leadership dispute within the ADC, which is under adjudication in court.

He emphasized that the focus should be on resolving internal party issues rather than engaging in hostile media exchanges. Okai warned that the continued media conflict not only distracts from the ADC's legal battles but also provides an advantage to political opponents.

He stressed the importance of unity within the coalition and cautioned that ongoing insults and divisions could hinder efforts to present a united front ahead of the general elections. Okai concluded by stating that the ADC must prioritize its legal processes to secure its mandate and avoid permanent damage from the media war.
