ADC's Gombe Warns Atiku Against Presidential Candidacy
A faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), led by Nafiu Bala Gombe, has issued a warning to former vice-president Atiku Abubakar, urging him to refrain from presenting himself as the party's presidential candidate. The faction also denied any agreement to form an alliance, merger, or coalition with the G100 Coalition, accusing Atiku and some coalition members of attempting to pressure the ADC's leadership into an arrangement that would compromise the party's independence.
Gombe stated that the ADC intends to contest the 2027 elections independently and will not allow its political direction to be influenced by individuals pursuing personal ambitions. The warning comes amid a leadership dispute within the ADC, with Gombe's faction challenging the rival faction led by former Senate President David Mark, who is recognized by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Gombe emphasized that any further association of Atiku with the ADC's political activities could lead to legal and political consequences.
