Leke from the coalition\u2019s leadership is a significant oversight that could hinder the ADC\u2019s progress,\u201d Bashiru stated.<\/p>\n<p>He, therefore, called on the coalition to embrace inclusivity and collaboration to safeguard stability and growth.<\/p>\n<p>Abejide, who is a two-term member of the House of Representatives and Chairman of the House Committee on Customs and Excise, has been a central figure in the party\u2019s growth since joining in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll efforts, times, and resources of the coalition will yield limited results without the inclusion of Hon. Leke,\u201d Bashiru added, stressing that his experience and influence should be integrated into decision-making processes.<\/p>\n<p>The ADC, founded in 2005 and officially registered in 2006, has reportedly struggled to gain significant ground in Nigerian politics.<\/p>\n<p>Abejide\u2019s candidacy in the 2023 Kogi State gubernatorial election boosted the party\u2019s visibility and strengthened its structure.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these gains, the coalition leadership, known as the N-ADC, has reportedly sidelined Abejide from its decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>This, according to Bashiru, who also serves as Executive Editor of ABMS Waves, risks creating internal divisions that could undermine the party\u2019s momentum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
