Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, a senior figure in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has accused Nafiu Bala, the party’s factional chairman, of undermining democracy.
Speaking to DCL Hausa on Tuesday, Kwankwaso said he had invited Bala to resolve the party’s ongoing crisis peacefully, but Bala failed to attend the meeting.
“We had scheduled to meet yesterday, but despite waiting until morning, he did not show up. I had been warned he wouldn’t come, and his absence is truly disappointing. I want to share my message with you now so that if you meet him, you can deliver it on my behalf,” Kwankwaso said.
He described Bala’s actions as harmful not just to himself but to the ADC and Nigeria’s democratic process. “In our current national situation, our party and our democracy do not need someone acting like the lizard at the mouth of the water pot. As a leader of this movement in Nigeria, I believed he would honor the invitation so I could advise him as a father would a son,” he said.
Kwankwaso noted Bala’s youth, born in 1990, emphasizing the need for guidance. “His current actions are not only detrimental to his own future but also to the ADC and Nigerian democracy as a whole. He should recognise that millions of people have registered; a party that was once small has grown significantly because prominent leaders joined with a mission to do what is right for this country. If he continues to stand in the way of that progress, it will become a very serious problem for him.”
The senator also called on the Emir of Gombe, other traditional rulers, and Ulamas to intervene. “This is a serious matter, and he must realize his mistakes so that we can resolve this. This advice is offered freely because I know it is for the benefit of everyone involved,” he added.
