The Digest:

Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has accused factional chairman Nafiu Bala of working against democracy. Kwankwaso said he invited Bala to resolve the crisis amicably, but he failed to show up. "I had been warned he wouldn't come, and his absence is truly disappointing," he said. He described Bala, born in 1990, as a youth who "still needs guidance" and warned that his actions are "detrimental to his own future, the ADC, and Nigerian democracy."

Key Points:
  • Bala's legal action led INEC to delist the David Mark-led ADC leadership.
  • Kwankwaso sought intervention from the Emir of Gombe, traditional rulers, and Ulamas.
  • He warned that millions have registered with ADC to "do what is right for this country."
  • Kwankwaso says he wanted to advise Bala "as a father would a son."
  • He urged Bala to stop standing in the way of progress.
