APC accuses Atiku of hijacking ADC, tells party to resolve leadership crisis

The APC has called on the ADC to address its internal leadership crisis instead of blaming the ruling party for a Federal High Court judgment. According to Premium Times, that ruling nullified the leadership of former Senate President David Mark and the presidential nomination of Atiku Abubakar. The APC further accused Atiku of hijacking the ADC.

During a visit to Akwa Ibom State on Friday, President Bola Tinubu criticized the leadership credentials and political affiliations of Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar. While not naming them directly, Punch reported that the President appeared to refer to Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, and Atiku, who joined the African Democratic Congress after leaving the PDP.

Tinubu questioned the political loyalty of a former PDP member and criticized Obi's tenure as Anambra governor, alleging he failed to tackle erosion in the state. The President contrasted this with his own administration as governor of Lagos, stating that he confronted the Atlantic Ocean.
