Ladan Salihu, a prominent figure in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has raised alarms over ongoing legal battles, claiming they are strategically designed to weaken the party and give the All Progressives Congress (APC) a clear advantage in the 2027 general elections.
Speaking on Friday during an interview on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today,’ Salihu expressed concerns about the leadership crisis within ADC as the nation approaches the next polls.
He emphasized that Nafiu Bala Gombe voluntarily resigned from his party position, and ADC possesses his signed resignation letter as evidence. According to Salihu, the court cases are part of a scheme to ambush ADC and create an unobstructed path for APC and its presidential candidate to coast to victory in 2027.
“This issue has been resolved. It’s all a setup to trap ADC and ensure that the APC and its flagbearer have a smooth ride to 2027,” Salihu stated.
He further added, “Our legal team is fully on top of this matter. The truth is that Nafiu Gombe resigned. We have his documents, his signatures, and everything. He is just a willing instrument in the hands of the APC and the government.”
