The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has issued a stern warning to Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, a former Kano State governor, to follow due process if he intends to join the party. The ADC, led by Hon. Nafiu Bala Gombe, has maintained that the party is committed to democratic values and the welfare of Nigerians.
The ADC has expressed concern over Kwankwaso's alleged association with individuals who are seeking to hijack the party for personal and political interests. The group has appealed to Kwankwaso to reconsider his approach and join the party through legitimate and transparent means.
Gombe has stated that the ADC holds respect for Kwankwaso but is disappointed with his recent decision to join a coalition of political power mongers. The group has emphasized that the ADC is not for sale and cannot be taken over by any group seeking power for personal gain.
The ADC's warning to Kwankwaso serves as a reminder that political parties in Nigeria are not mere vehicles for personal ambition. The ADC's commitment to democratic values and the welfare of Nigerians stands in stark contrast to the actions of those who seek to hijack the party for personal gain. The ADC's emphasis on legitimate and transparent means of joining the party is a necessary check on the kind of opportunistic politics that has plagued Nigeria's political landscape. Kwankwaso's decision to associate with individuals who have no respect for democracy and the poor raises serious questions about his own commitment to the values of the ADC. Ultimately, the ADC's stance on this matter sends a clear message that Nigeria's politics will not be reduced to a mere game of power and patronage.
