Senator Aminu Tambuwal has dismissed claims that internal divisions forced the departure of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), insisting their decision was politically motivated rather than the result of a crisis within the party.
Speaking on the development, Tambuwal said he did not believe the exits stemmed from any “crack” within the ADC, but rather from the politicians’ desire to seek alternative political platforms ahead of Nigeria’s general elections.
“I do not believe that it was out of any crack. I believe that they wanted to go to another platform for them possibly to test their popularity with the Nigerian people at the general elections,” Tambuwal said.
The remarks come amid growing political realignments and speculation over possible coalition movements ahead of the next electoral cycle, with major opposition figures weighing strategic options to strengthen their influence on the national stage.
