Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared that it faces no threat from the opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing the party as a coalition of power seekers driven by personal ambition rather than national interest.<\/p>\n

APC Chairman in Jigawa State, Hon. Ahmad Maikudi stated this while responding to questions from newsmen after the party\u2019s executive meeting held on Monday in Dutse.<\/p>\n

He said, the meeting was ahead of the Party\u2019s National convention scheduled to take place on Saturday.<\/p>\n

He said he does not regard the ADC as a genuine political party, but rather, \u201ca coalition of selfish individuals and power mongers\u201d lacking commitment to national interest.<\/p>\n

According to him, the party\u2019s lifespan would be short, as it is likely to disintegrate after its primaries once key figures fail to secure their ambitions.<\/p>\n

He argued that the ADC is largely made up of former presidential and governorship candidates, each with personal aspirations to contest for the presidency.<\/p>\n

He added that prominent figures such as Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Rotimi Amaechi may leave the party if they fail to clinch the party\u2019s presidential ticket.<\/p>\n

Maikudi assured that, the APC will emerge victorious in the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n

Also commenting on the upcoming APC National convention scheduled to take place on Saturday, he said the party in the state have completed all the necessary arrangements and all its delegates including statutory and those elected are set for the convention.<\/p>\n
