Political commentator Imran Wakili has blamed former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for the growing crisis within the African Democratic Congress, ADC, claiming that most of the political figures who helped build the party’s coalition structure in Adamawa State have now left.
In a post on X on Tuesday, Wakili said none of the political heavyweights who started the coalition in Adamawa remains with Atiku in the ADC, arguing that the former presidential candidate could not be absolved of responsibility for the situation.
According to him, former governorship candidate Aishatu Binani has joined the NDC, while former Governor Jibrilla Bindow is consulting on his next political move. He also stated that former Senator Ishaku Abbo had moved to the Labour Party and that Abdulaziz Nyako had joined the APC.
Wakili claimed that Atiku was now left in the ADC with only a few loyalists, including his son, Adamu, and others.
He wrote: “Amongst the political heavyweights that started the coalition in Adamawa, not even one is with Atiku and ADC today, No matter how you look at it, you can’t excuse Atiku from this mess.
“Binani left for NDC. Bindow is consulting and deciding on his next political step.
“Abbo left for the Labour Party.
Abdulaziz Nyako left for the APC.
“Atiku is left with his son Adamu, Baba 10, and the likes. Baba really fumbled Adamawa, We warned them, but they said we don’t like Atiku.
“Nah, I don’t dislike him, I am just a realist.”
DAILY POST reports that the comments come a day after former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, announced his resignation from the ADC.
Lawal, among other things, alleged that the party’s recently concluded primaries were manipulated in favour of Atiku.
