Tinubu's Chief of Staff Urges Lawmaker to "Scatter" ADC

A viral video featuring Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, has ignited controversy as he was seen instructing Leke Abejide, a member of the House of Representatives, to "scatter" the African Democratic Congress (ADC). The incident occurred during a private gathering in Abuja celebrating the 50th birthday of Abejide's wife.

In the video, Gbajabiamila openly encouraged the lawmaker to intensify internal resistance within the ADC, stating that he should not abandon the party, which he claimed was built with significant effort and resources. He further discouraged any moves toward the All Progressives Congress (APC), asserting that the ADC should remain strong and win re-election.

This incident comes at a time when the ADC is facing internal crises and factional divisions, particularly under the leadership tussle involving Nafiu Bala. The video has drawn widespread reactions, with social media users accusing Gbajabiamila of attempting to weaken the opposition party ahead of future elections.
