Defection Drama Deepens!” – Lawmakers Rethink Move Amid African Democratic Congress Crisis
Uncertainty is mounting among some federal lawmakers over their planned defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) due to the party’s ongoing leadership crisis.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The situation follows the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to recognise the National Working Committee led by former Senate President, David Mark, pending the resolution of a legal dispute over the party’s leadership.
The lawmaker representing Darazo/Ganjuwa Federal Constituency of Bauchi State, Mansur Soro, who had been expected to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ADC, said discussions are still ongoing.
Speaking with Sunday Punch, Soro stated that a final decision regarding his political future would be made soon, noting that consultations are expected to conclude within a week.
In a similar development, Lagos lawmaker Jesse Onuakalusi, whose defection from the Labour Party to the ADC was recently announced in the House of Representatives, declined to reveal his next move amid the lingering crisis.
When asked about his options should the dispute remain unresolved, he chose not to comment on the matter.
However, Uchenna Okonkwo, who represents Idemili North/Idemili South Federal Constituency of Anambra State, downplayed concerns over INEC’s action, expressing confidence that the issue would be settled through legal processes.
He argued that the Court of Appeal only directed that the status quo be maintained, suggesting that INEC may have interpreted the ruling in its own way. Despite the controversy, he maintained that there was no cause for alarm.
Okonkwo also noted that regardless of the outcome of the ADC leadership dispute, the influence of Peter Obi, a former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, could shape the decisions of many lawmakers considering defection.
He added that national challenges such as poor power supply, high fuel costs, and rising living expenses affect all citizens, regardless of political affiliation.
