The coalition-backed African Democratic Congress, ADC, yesterday bickered with the All Progressives Congress, APC, over attacks on its leaders and description of the coalition as a clear and present danger to the country.
The APC referred to leaders of the ADC, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of Labour Party in 2023 elections, Mr Peter Obi former Kaduna State governor, Nasir el-Rufai and former Rivers State governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, as Nigerias most confused, clueless, rudderless and pitiful gang of opposition elements.
It warned Nigerians to be wary of politicians who weaponised ethnicity and religion, seeking to upend the presidential rotational principle between the north and south.
In a quick counter, the ADC said President Bola Tinubus economic reforms were heartless, while the Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP, said the APCs attacks on Obi were diversionary.
