Stakeholders in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) have reportedly opted to slow down talks to challenge and defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
This development follows the interrogation and detention of a former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
According to The Guardian, the coalition has decided to slow down its move due to fears that the Presidency may have succeeded in planting moles within the party, leading to the recent invitation of some key figures in the coalition by the anti-graft agency.
A former governor in the coalition told the aforementioned publication that suspicions were raised by the EFCC’s sudden action, which came only days after former Vice President Atiku Abubakar hinted at shelving his presidential ambition on the sole condition that Tambuwal would be the running mate to any Southern candidate.
The source, also a former senator, stated: “So, we have reason to believe that the powers that be have got some moles into our midst. Or, how else could one explain that at a time when the former Vice President started listening to pleas for him to allow the South complete its eight years, only for EFCC to come in?
“We have decided to slow down crucial decisions to understand how the President wants to run the election against himself. It is obvious to them (APC) that their man is not popular and that Nigerians are looking beyond him. This brute tactic can only delay, but not deter us.”
He disclosed that the coalition was adopting new strategies to keep “the enemies of democracy guessing” and to expose what he described as their desperation to capture the country “through the highway method.”
