Daniel Bwala, an aide to the president, says that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) cannot build a strong coalition.
He said in a post on 𝕏 that the way the ADC is set up and how it works internally make it impossible for it to handle political challenges.
In the post, Bwala said he had predicted trouble in the party before, and he said that recent events have proven him right.
“I said this six months ago, and if you want to know why ADC is more confused than the crazy man who used to give Gregory advice, here are the facts,” he wrote.
He then criticized what he called “too much ambition” among party members, saying, “A party where everyone wants to be president (selfish) can’t build a strong opposition.”
The presidential aide also criticized how the party’s leadership structure came about, saying, “A party built on hostile take-over cannot survive the storm.”
Bwala also said that the party was inconsistent and didn’t have a clear ideological direction. He said, “A party where the members have double standards that they apply to people can’t see road,” and “A party where the presidential candidates have changed political parties like chameleons can’t have ideology.”
He also questioned the party’s leaders’ motives, saying, “A party where their leaders see Nigerians as a means to an end can’t coordinate,” and warned that desperation among its leaders could hurt governance.
He went on to say, “A party whose leaders are desperate to win cannot govern Nigerians.”
Bwala ended by saying that the party’s current problems are a sign of deeper structural weaknesses.
“Finally, don’t you see that they are more confused now than when they started their journey? I said it before: “Give them six months and they will fall apart.” It’s clear to see. “Say no to the association of desperate congregation (ADC),” he said.
