President-Bola-Tinubu-1.webp
The Digest:

President Bola Tinubu has aimed a dig at former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, accusing him of attempting to "privatise" the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Speaking to Renewed Hope Ambassadors, Tinubu said: "The head was chairman of the privatisation council. He privatised steel in Delta. Is it working today? He privatised Ajaokuta. Is it working today? They privatise another man's political party, but the man said no." He linked Atiku to the ADC leadership crisis.

Key Points:
  • The ADC is polarised into three factions led by David Mark, Nafiu Bala, and Ogga Kingsley.
  • INEC derecognised both Mark and Bala factions on April 1.
  • The Supreme Court will hear Mark's appeal on April 22.
  • An ADC faction in Adamawa suspended Atiku on April 13.
  • Tinubu's comments intensify the political rivalry ahead of 2027.
