The Digest:

Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, has urged Leke Abejide, a House of Representatives member and leader of the Nafiu Gombe-led faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), to continue causing problems in the party. Speaking at a birthday ceremony, Gbajabiamila said: "Don't come to APC. Stay in ADC and scatter them. We like what you're doing." He advised Abejide to ignore defection calls from former Kogi Governor Yahaya Bello.

Key Points:
  • Gbajabiamila praised Abejide for doing "a great job" for the APC from within ADC.
  • He promised support for Abejide and Nafiu Bala Gombe in court battles.
  • The ADC has been battling internal crises, splitting into two factions.
  • The comments have sparked accusations of presidential interference in opposition affairs.
  • The video has gone viral ahead of the 2027 elections.
The presidency's open encouragement of internal strife within the ADC raises questions about political interference.
