Ayekooto Akindele, a prominent figure in the All Progressives Congress (APC), has leveled serious allegations against former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, claiming that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) serves as a strategic tool to undermine the southern presidency in the upcoming 2027 elections.
Responding to comments from the Obidient Movement praising Peter Obi for departing the ADC, Akindele argued that Obi’s move was not as shrewd as suggested. He insisted that the ADC was originally conceived as a vehicle for Atiku to shift political power away from the South.
In a Facebook post, Akindele stated that Obi’s failure to recognize Atiku’s hidden agenda from the start showed poor political judgment. He noted that Atiku had previously attempted to use the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to achieve his goals but was unsuccessful.
Akindele further criticized Obi’s decision to leave the Labour Party and join the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), contrasting it with what he described as the wiser path chosen by Alex Otti. He strongly condemned Obi’s actions, labeling them as unwise and detrimental to his political career.
