Former Governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff, has said that the newly formed coalition party, African Democratic Congress (ADC), will not stand the test of time.
He recently revealed that he expects the ADC to die down in three months because of the presidential ambition of some of the top politicians in the party.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Ali disclosed that the perceived struggle for the party’s presidential ticket would eventually lead to an implosion.
According to him, the fact is that almost all the top members of the ADC are presidential material; therefore, it will be very hard for the coalition to decide on one person to run for office.
“This ADC that you’re talking about, I can tell you for free, give them three months, it will die down because all of them are presidential materials and only one of them can be a candidate,” he said.
Ali Modu Sheriff further noted that Peter Obi is set to leave the coalition to return to the PDP because his ambition to become president would require such a move.
He concluded by saying that it is also president or nothing for Atiku since he has been vice president before.
“Atiku has been the vice president of Nigeria. So for him, it is president or nothing. Peter Obi ran under the Labour Party. His ambition is to become President.
Information available to me is that any moment from now, Obi would go back to the PDP and run as a presidential candidate under the PDP,” he added.
