Kachikwu Calls Out Atiku’s Coalition: “You’re in the Wrong ADC!”

🇳🇬 Pidgin Version

<p class="my-6 leading-relaxed text-foreground">The 2027 election season is already heating up, and Dumebi Kachikwu, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) 2023 presidential candidate, is not holding back! In a scathing statement, Kachikwu slammed the opposition coalition—led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and other heavyweights—for trying to “take over” the ADC as their platform to challenge President Bola Tinubu’s APC in 2027. </p><p class="my-6 leading-relaxed text-foreground">The coalition announced this move at a meeting in Abuja on July 2, 2025, appointing former Senate President David Mark as interim national chairman and ex-Osun governor Rauf Aregbesola as interim national secretary. But Kachikwu? He’s calling it a “backdoor” deal. According to Kachikwu, the coalition is working with the former ADC leadership under Ralph Nwosu, whose tenure, he claims, ended on August 21, 2022, and has been mired in legal disputes ever since. “Can you enter a man’s house through the back door and declare yourself the landlord?” he quipped, accusing Atiku and his allies of aligning with a “bad chapter” in the ADC’s past. He didn’t mince words, labeling the coalition a group of “greedy and selfish old men” who’ve ruled Nigeria for decades with little to show but division and poverty. Kachikwu’s message to Nigerians was clear: the country deserves fresh faces and ideas, not recycled politicians chasing power. “Nigerians yearn for a new Nigeria that thrives on meritocracy,” he said, urging the coalition to join the ADC “through the front door” if they’re serious.
