Former Governor of Borno State and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, has stated that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) will lose relevance very fast.
Speaking on Monday during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, the former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said the presidential ambition of ADC chieftains will collapse the opposition party.
He stated that the ADC is a fragile political experiment driven by clashing presidential ambitions, predicting that the party will ‘die down in three months.’
On speculations that he is plotting to join the ADC, Sheriff said: “You said people are mentioning my name, that I was going to the ADC. Wrong. Which ADC? Do they have a political party?
“Give them three months. The party will die down because all of them are ‘presidential materials’. And it is only one person that is going to be a presidential candidate among them.”
Sheriff argued that the ADC cannot replicate the success of the APC, stressing that unlike APC which emerged through the merger of parties with governors and national structures, ADC has no such foundation.
“When we were coming to form the APC, there were almost 15 state governments involved. President Bola Tinubu came with four states. All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) came with about five or six. Breakaway PDP came with four. Today, we have 73 senators, a clear majority in the House of Reps, and more than 20 states,” he said.
The former senator added: “They all want to be president at all costs. They have a right to aspire, but as far as this politics is concerned, they don’t exist. ADC does not exist.”
