Sam Amadi, a former chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, has advised frontline presidential aspirant of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, to seek an alternative if he must be on the ballot in 2027.
Amadi gave the counsel in a post he shared on X while revealing an alleged plot by the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC-led government to proscribe ADC.
DAILY POST reports that ADC, a party housing opposition leaders plotting the removal of President Bola Tinubu, has been battling leadership crisis.
Party bigwigs have accused President Tinubu of orchestrating the lingering crisis in ADC, stating that he is aiming to contest the 2027 election unopposed.
Sharing his view on Tuesday, Amadi, a staunch supporter of Peter Obi, urged him to put his plan B in motion, alleging that the government may use the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and the court to proscribe ADC.
He wrote, “While you guys are fighting who has a right to win primaries and who has the duty to be VP, the ruling government through INEC and court may proscribe ADC
“A few days before INEC came with its sledge hammer a lady who knows the workings of INEC told me that the government would try and use the court to proscribe ADC.
“If there is a Plan B put it motion now if you want to be on the ballot. Tinubu is mortally afraid for Peter Obi on the ballot. He cannot campaign rigorously. And the country is in a terrible state.”
