A former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has been warned against destabilising the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The warning was issued to El-Rufai by a chieftain of the party in Kadhuna, Ahmed Mustapha.
According to Mustapha, the governor must desist from any form of attempt to infiltrate and take over the party.
Further accusing the former governor of orchestrating moves to hijack the ADC, Mustapha said El-Rufai was adopting “subversive alliances” and “illegitimate political manoeuvres” since joining the party.
“Let it be clearly understood that the Kaduna State Chapter of the ADC will not be a willing tool in the hands of any individual, nor will we be beholden to interests that seek to undermine our collective vision,” Mustapha stated.
He also alleged that the former governor was working with members of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) to create factions within the coalition party.
While noting the ADC was open to every Nigerian, the party chieftain said the destructive tendencies of the old parties that have stalled Nigeria’s progress would not be tolerated.
“We call on Nasir El-Rufai to respect the democratic ideals of our party, allow due process to prevail, and cease all disruptive activities,” Mustapha said.
