So the Adamawa State Chapter of the ADC is fracturing along fault lines of Loyalty? So the ADC in Adamawa is embroiled in accusations of possible defections and sabotage from within?
Well, that is the situation and Katakata has already set in. Press briefings are being held here and there to either justify, refute, counter, etc, the actions of members.
Funny enough, the National Organising Secretary (North East), Alh Umar Bello Jada, also known as calculate accused National Vice Chairman Babachir Lawal, Former Governor Jibrilla Bindow and Senator Aziz Nyako of undermining Atiku Abubakar’s leadership by “secretly romancing the PDP and plotting to surrender the party structure to Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri”. How so preposterous!
The African Democratic Congress(ADC)has come to be recognised for what it really is: an alternative fallback platform for former vice-president, Atiku Abubakar.
At its inception over ten years ago, those in the know in Adamawa knew that the ADC was nothing short of Atiku’s fallback tool. It therefore did not come as a surprise that Atiku jumped ship from the PDP along with his loyalists to join the ADC. Since many Atiku loyalists knew of the alternative fallback platform’s existence years earlier, the move was nothing new, as in previous years, their mentor was well known for moving in any direction he saw fit.
Therefore, the recent drama enacted by Umar Jada followed the same pattern as the short-lived ACN misadventure that led to the failed electoral attempt that saw Atiku Abubakar and his loyalists shifting grounds and frolicking with all notable political parties in an effort to grab the presidency. Strangely, Umar Jada, also known as Calculate, has been running between the goal posts in an effort to attract attention to the party that was stunted in growth due to the mistrust of the unusual, strange bedfellows in the unholy marriage.
In desperation, Calculate resorted to finding fault with Babachir, former Secretary to the Federal Government, one-time governor of Adamawa and several other perceived enemies of their fragile, disorganised and disoriented alliance.
After casting aspersions on these personages, Calculate would appear in a video clip with the same people claiming solidarity and loyalty to his principal to whom he claimed they had been disloyal. Umar Jada further confused things by trying to heap blame on Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, the looming figure that has become a factor in Adamawa state and is still waxing stronger in the national political arena. The stature and increasing influence of Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri is intriguing to calculate and his Ilk, such that any assumed threat to their new facade is attributed to Fintiri’s involvement. Having left the party on their own volition why should affairs in the PDP continue to bog them?
From all indications, Calculate and his group have a morbid fear of Fintiri’s ability to move crowds, hence their fears. It is now crystal clear that to the ADC guys in Adamawa, Fintiri has become a political behemoth of some sort.
I am Kushi, where politics meet the truth, I write.
