‘If Things Do Not Work Out For Atiku, I See Him Defecting To SDP’ – ADC Chieftain
An ADC chieftain has suggested that if things do not work out for Atiku Abubakar, he may defect to the SDP. Atiku was set to formalize his defection by receiving a membership card from the ADC, but the process was delayed, leading to speculation of a power struggle within the party.
The chieftain, speaking on condition of anonymity, claimed that Atiku's former running mate, Peter Obi, had allegedly taken control of the ADC structure in the South, posing a threat to Atiku's 2027 presidential ambitions. The source also mentioned that the recent suspension of former Kaduna State governor Nasir el-Rufai from the SDP was due to fears that Atiku might join the party and create a political cartel.
Atiku's supporters within the ADC are reportedly pressuring him to leave the party amid the ongoing crisis.
