Former ADC presidential candidate Dumebi Kachikwu has stated that he is unable to collaborate with prominent opposition players in the recently announced alliance, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Governors Rotimi Amaechi, and Nasir El-Rufai.
On Thursday, Kachikwu reportedly stated this while answering questions on Arise Television’s Morning Show.
The ADC leader emphasized that Nigeria needs new faces and new ideas and declared his opposition to the opposition leaders.
According to Kachukwu, he will be opposing the party’s takeover by what he called “old politicians.”

“We require new ideas,” he remarked. New values are needed. They can’t sit there, the folks who set our house on fire. Firefighters will extinguish the flames.
I oppose them. With these folks, I can’t work.
Yes, of course. My intention is to take them to court.
Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Julius Abure-led section of the Labour Party (LP) has given its presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, a 48-hour ultimatum to leave the party after he aligned himself with a newly formed opposition coalition.
As previously reported, Obi was one of the leading political personalities that convened on Wednesday to decide to form the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the coalition party to overthrow President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.
However, Obiora Ifoh, the National Publicity Secretary for the Abure-led faction, cautioned in a statement signed and released in Abuja on Thursday that Obi’s backing of the coalition is in direct opposition to the faction’s stance, which has distanced itself from the alliance and called its members “frustrated politicians” and “power mongers.”
