Former Kogi lawmaker, Dino Melaye, has stated that not everyone who defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is a saint, but they are driven by conscience and a desire for change.
Naija News reports that Melaye made the remark during an appearance on Friday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today.
Melaye described ADC as a national altar call and urged Nigerians to rethink the party’s role in national politics.
He said, “Why Nigerians should think differently about the ADC is that once there’s an altar call in the church of God only those who are emotionally affected, have conscience, and are ready to leave darkness and move into light respond. So, ADC is a national altar call.
“Not everybody in ADC is a saint, but what I’m telling you is that everybody who moved into ADC is concerned about Nigeria. We want to see a Nigeria where we’ll be able to answer questions from our grandchildren who will ask us, when we’re 90 and toothless: ‘When Nigeria was being destroyed, Grandpa, what did you do?’ We want to be able to say we did A, B, C, and D.”
Speaking further, Atiku stated that despite the bigwigs within ADC, the party will work to present a candidate to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
He added, “Those of us in the ADC need to create a comfortable, stable platform. And I believe that platform will produce a candidate that will unseat President Ahmed Bola Tinubu in 2027.
“But I have made it a point of duty that I will not be talking about a presidential candidate or aspirant or preference for anybody until we get the party completely stabilised and organise a transparent convention that will produce a presidential candidate of the ADC who, by the grace of God, will kick.”
