The media aide to ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Paul Ibe, yesterday said delegates of the African Democratic Congress, (ADC), will decide the party’s presidential candidate at the right time.
Ibe made the remark while noting that there is nothing wrong with all the top ADC politicians wanting to be president.
Posting on his Facebook page, Ibe said the coalition is angry with the failure of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
According to Ibe, the coalition is angry that Tinubu’s administration has made a mess of Nigeria within two years of being in power.
He wrote: “The ADC Coalition leaders are angry with the mess that Tinubu has made of Nigeria. They’re angry at how the material condition of the average citizen has deteriorated. They’re angry at how Nigerians have become poorer.
“They’re angry at the skyrocketing prices of food. They’re angry that even the minimum wage cannot not even buy a bag of rice because the Tinubu-led APC administration’s policies have snowballed inflation.
“They’re livid at the worsening insecurity that has left Nigerians at the mercy of terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, and marauding blood thirsty killers. Their anger is in response to the collective anger of Nigerians who are desirous of a change.
“There’s nothing wrong in all of them wanting to be president. The delegates of the party will, at the appropriate time, determine who will be the presidential candidate. That is DEMOCRACY (as opposed to Tinubu’s DICTATORSHIP) at work.
“What is wrong is when you sign up to be president like Tinubu, and your era is marked by incompetence and cluelessness. That is a waste of opportunity.”
