A faction of the African Democratic Congress ADC has rejected the adoption of the party by the coalition of opposition politicians led by former Vice President, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku.
The partys factional national publicity secretary, Musa Isa Matara, in a statement, accused opposition politicians of hijacking the party, saying their party is not a private coalition platform.
According to him, the partys state executives, youth and women leaders, and ward coordinators were not involved in the conversations that led to the adoption of the party by the coalition leaders.
The statement read in part: We warn those coming into the ADC as part of this imposed arrangement to tread carefully. Be mindful that some few individuals are attempting to sell out the soul of our party for personal gain.
