The presidential candidate of the Action Democratic Congress, Dumebi Kachikwu, has insisted that he will be participating in Saturday’s presidential election, in spite of the crisis rocking his party
Mr Kachikwu stated this at the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Forum in Abuja.
Giving a background of the crisis rocking the ADC, Mr Kachikwu said the erstwhile chairman, Ralph Nwosu, refused to let go after the expiration of his tenure.
“Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court had in December 2022 ruled that the tenure of the erstwhile chairman had lapsed.
“He (Nwosu) had been there close to 17 years and it is that kind of party where every four years they bring people like me to the party. And a few days to the election they will announce an alignment.
“When it became clear to the people that I wanted to run an election, they started fighting me. Unfortunately while the man was fighting me, he forgot his tenure had lapsed.
