A former vice presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Datti Baba-Ahmed, has told the African Democratic Congress, ADC, that it does not have among its fold politicians in the calibre of late former President Muhammadu Buhari or Bola Tinubu, who he described as a resourceful, focused and determined master politicians.
Baba-Ahmed suggested that the ADC will come to an end once the primary elections do not favour some of the top politicians within its folds.
Speaking on Channels Television on Friday morning, Baba-Ahmed pointed out that the same people who built the All Progressives Congress, APC that, according to him, is misruling Nigeria today, are the same people who formed the ADC disgruntled about not having one seat in APC or receiving political appointments.
“Some of them went all the way to Senate screening and are taking it back now to use the Nigerian people to fight the APC. I am not that gullible. I am able to ask questions right from the beginning of their respective political careers to where they are today, and I answer those questions negatively,” he said.
“I have also highlighted the structure, many structural defects of PDP, that they are deluding themselves to think that Nigerians will agree to be deceived twice after bringing in APC, they go and remove the P and bring a D, and think that Nigerians will just fall for it, for the same people.
“I have told you that they don’t have a Buhari in ADC where runners up will team up to support him. They don’t have a Tinubu, a resourceful, focused and determined master politician. I’m not praising Him, who has his own hidden agenda. They don’t have it in ADC.
“The era of 2015 leading up to 2011 was that there was a subsistent promise after electing then President Jonathan, that does not exist. Now there isn’t a promise issue. So everything about the coalition that happened before is not there. Now, the same people who brought in APC that Nigeria is so sorry about, are now asking Nigerians to please come and vote ADC.”
