Journalist and politician, Dele Momodu, has urged the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to urgently address growing tension within the party, warning that failure to do so could mirror the internal crisis that once rocked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a statement titled “My Candid Advice to ADC: Avoid Another Wike Scenario,” Momodu recalled attending a meeting in Abuja where opposition figures adopted the ADC as a common platform to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). According to him, party leaders at the gathering promised openness, internal democracy and discipline.
He expressed concern that, despite those assurances, some groups within the ADC have recently adopted aggressive postures and are allegedly pushing to secure top positions through “donation and coronation” rather than transparent processes.
Momodu questioned how a coalition could succeed if members continue to trade insults and act as though they can win elections alone, warning that such conduct threatens unity and credibility.
Drawing parallels with the PDP crisis, which he said was worsened by the influence of former Rivers State governor Nyesom Wike, Momodu urged ADC leadership — led by former Senate President David Mark — to take charge, restore order and ensure the party remains a platform of cooperation rather than “a house of commotion.”
