The African Democratic Congress, ADC has called on members of the party to reject moves by some politicians to hijack the party.
This is contained in a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Dr Musa Isa Matara in Abuja.
According to the statement, no appointment is valid until a legitimate, constitutionally backed ADC National Convention or NEC confirms leadership changes.
It stresses that the party is not against a coalition but opposes hijack and imposition.
“We stand firmly on the side of accountable leadership, transparent decision making and a people-powered party structure. Any process that excludes the very people it claims to serve is undemocratic and must be challenged” he stresses.
“We call on all genuine stakeholders of the ADC across states, zones, and demographic groups to reject this attempted takeover of our party. We are not opposed to coalitions. We are not opposed to reform” the Publicity Secretary emphasizes.
“But we are opposed to hijack, to imposition, and to speeches that sound revolutionary but hide elitist intentions beneath poetic language”.
“Until a legitimate, constitutionally-backed ADC National Convention or NEC confirms leadership changes, no one has the moral or legal right to speak for our party nationally,” Matara adds.
