A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Ladan Salihu, has described the party’s court cases as an avenue to ambush the party and create a one-way traffic for the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in the 2027 general elections.

Salihu made this statement on Friday during a live appearance in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television.

He was speaking on the leadership crisis in the party ahead of the 2027 elections.

According to him, Nafiu Bala Gombe resigned from his position in the party, stressing that they have his signature on the resignation letter.

“This case has been settled. It is all in a trap to ambush the ADC and to make sure that a pathway is created for the APC and the presidential candidate to have a one-way traffic to 2027.

“Our legal team is right on top of this matter. The fact of the matter remains that Nafiu Gombe resigned. We have his papers, we have his signatures, we have everything, and this guy is a willing tool in the hands of the APC and the government,” Salihu said.
