The founder of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Ralph Nwosu, has insisted that the presidency attempted to undermine the ADC’s efforts to consolidate an opposition coalition through ministerial inducements and interference.
Naija News reports that Nwosu, during an interview on ARISE Television, vowed that no offer or inducement from the President Bola Tinubu administration would deter the party from opposing efforts to turn Nigeria into a one-party state.
He said, “As a matter of fact, what I did at our NEC meeting was to send a signal so that the presidency and our people pretending to be Democrats who are on the other side, to be careful. Because they are ruining our system and we have struggled for that.
“I sent the last signal to them and so on… What I’ve said wouldn’t be new to any national party chairman, as I speak to you today… I just deliberately sent that signal. And if they don’t stay off, we are compelling them.”
In response to a denial from the Special Adviser to the President, Daniel Bwala, the former ADC chairman reiterated that offers had been made, including ministerial positions, but declined to name the government officials behind them.
According to Nwosu, government-backed figures were working against ADC from within, and these individuals were being used to file court cases to halt the coalition’s progress.
He also alleged that these internal saboteurs were benefiting from state resources.
He added, “I have a call and I have meetings and not only here in Nigeria. A couple of days, but no, I will not mention their names.
“Bwala, I wish you would come out and say what Elias, Godwin and Mohammed are doing in big hotels, being protected by the government, the people paid police. They are still carrying the cards of ADC. But the government has used them to scuttle the things we’re doing.
“They have used them to go to court to say that they don’t agree with the things we’re doing. Therefore, it should be stopped. And they are being protected. We have pictures and we know where they are.
“They are now riding on SUV vehicles and they’re staying in luxurious hotels. We cannot afford that. Even me, you know, who until yesterday officially was the chairman, I can’t afford that.”
