Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, has thrown his weight behind the adoption of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, by the opposition coalition.
This is as he said it is a welcome development and good for democracy, and will prevent Nigeria from becoming a one-party state.
Gbajabiamila made this statement while addressing newsmen after casting his ballots in the Lagos State local government elections in Surulere on Saturday.
“It’s a welcome development with the coalition. It’s not the first time we are seeing this. It’s a welcome development. In every democracy, we must have some level of opposition otherwise we’ll run into a one-party state. But I’m not sure where it would go,”; he said.
DAILY POST recalls that earlier this month, leaders of the coalition convened at the Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja, where they formally adopted the ADC as their platform to challenge the APC in 2027.
The event saw Ralph Nwosu hand over the party’s membership card to David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola, who were introduced as the interim national chairman and national secretary, respectively.
