ADC crisis: Politicians hijack parties and abandon them after electoral defeats, Ngogbehei says

Political analyst Marcel Ngogbehei accused Nigerian opposition figures of taking over existing party structures, sidelining founding members and abandoning parties when their electoral ambitions fail. He made the allegations after an Abuja High Court judgment removed the African Democratic Congress (ADC) leadership under former Senate President David Mark; the party has appealed. Ngogbehei cited the political journeys of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi as examples of what he called opposition instability, contrasting them with Bola Tinubu’s role in building lasting political structures, from the AD to the APC.
