ADC chieftain Abdullahi Umar
Honourable Abdullahi Umar, a stakeholder and Chieftain of the ADC, who was the party’s candidate for House of Representatives in Tarauni federal constituency during the 2023 general elections, has slammed Mr Dumebi Kachikwu the former ADC presidential candidate, in the last election, describing him a agent of destabilization with an excessive delusional syndrome.
Honourable Umar’s statement was in response to claims by Mr Kachikwu, that the ADC, and particularly Atiku Abubakar and other party stakeholders are bribing state chairmen to vacate their position.
The statement reads: ”Indeed, it has become obvious, Mr Kachikwu’s obsession with the ADC, and the coalition’s downfall clearly shows he is a paid agent of the APC. How can someone with sanity make such spurious and unfounded allegations? The N20 million naira bribery allegations, only existed in Mr Kachikwu’s imagination”.
He continued: “The ADC, has officially suspended all political activities, in honor the late president, Muhammadu Buhari. For flouting ADC’s directive, it has reinforced what we’ve been saying about the role of Mr Kachikwu. He is not a party man. He has zero electoral or political value”.
“Nigerians should decide their political destinies, which apparently, they’ve done so, by identifying and aligning with the opposition ADC. Not any worthless and selfish individual who’s only antecedent is betrayal and lack of focus.
“In fact, I shall personally sue Mr Kachikwu for such baseless allegations, character assassination and deliberate misinformation”.
Lastly, Honourable Abdullahi Umar called on Nigerians to remain steadfast and support the ADC, in a bid to salvage the country and rescue it from sinking, under the APC.
