…urges members to stay vigilant
From Charity Nwakaudu, Abuja
Former presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dumebi Kachikwu, has launched a strong attack on what he described as “political buccaneers” attempting to take over the party structure, insisting that the move has been defeated following a recent court ruling on factional congresses.
Reacting to the judgment, Kachikwu said the court decision vindicated his long-standing warning that some individuals were bent on hijacking the party for selfish interests.
He declared firmly: “The ADC is not for sale. Those who tried to hijack our party have been shown the way out through the same back door they came in.”
The former candidate mocked the alleged plotters, describing them as “desperados” whose attempt to seize control of the party has collapsed under judicial scrutiny.
“These desperados have failed woefully. We hear they are already shopping for other parties to destabilise—we wish them bon voyage,” he added.

Kachikwu urged party faithful to remain alert, stressing that the struggle for control of the party is not yet over.
“The battle is not over until it is over. But one thing is clear the ADC will be on the ballot, and it remains a ready home for Nigerians who genuinely want to salvage this country,” he said.
He also referenced ongoing judicial proceedings presided over by Justice Joyce Abdul-Malik, noting that further clarity is expected once the process is concluded.
Reiterating his broader political stance, Kachikwu said his movement is driven not by coalition interests but by the need for a “fundamental reset” of Nigeria’s political direction.
He criticised the current political system, saying it promotes division rather than solutions, while lamenting worsening insecurity in the North and economic hardship in the South-East.
According to him, Nigeria’s challenges cannot be solved with “the same mindset that created them,” insisting that a new political approach is needed to rescue the country from systemic decline.
On his part,the party’s chairman of chairmen, Kingsley Ogga hailed the court judgement, insisting that their labour will never be in vain.
