Court sacks African Democratic Congress chair, Kachikwu hails verdict 

The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dumebi Kachikwu, has applauded the Federal High Court decision removing the erstwhile party’s leader and his executive. 

In a statement, Kachikwu personally signed, he said Justice Binta Nyako’s ruling was a Christmas gift for the entire ADC family who can now focus on rebuilding their party and taking their campaign to the Nigerian people.

He said: “Nwosu did everything possible to destroy our party and our collective ambitions all for personal gain. He and his management encouraged down ballot candidates to enter negotiations with other parties thus further strengthening the prevalent view that smaller parties are only in the race to negotiate payments with bigger parties.

“This will never be the story of ADC going forward. We will exterminate this anti democratic cankerworm that almost destroyed our party and build a party that will be the pride of all Nigerians. 

“Change must start from within and this change has started within the ADC. I am sending a strong warning to APC, PDP and the Labour Party; ADC will not trade or negotiate any mandate. If you paid any money to anybody go and collect your money back.”
