A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Kenneth Okonkwo, has alleged that the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, is owned by President Bola Tinubu.

Okonkwo said this while fielding questions during an interview on Symfoni TV.

He alleged that the party was registered when its national leader, Seriake Dickson, met with Tinubu.

According to him, the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has been trapped, accusing Rabi’u Kwankwaso of insincerity with Obi.

“NDC is Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress, APC, political party. It’s now that Peter Obi is even more trapped.

“Can’t you see? They were not to be registered until I heard it from the Obidients’ mouths that there was a meeting between Dickson and Tinubu, and then, they registered NDC.

“After the registration, what happened? INEC said they were not qualified to be registered, and they went to court. That’s how it came, by court order.

“A party that has not been existing. Meaning INEC was compelled to register them. Peter Obi said they were invited by NDC. Meaning NDC was registered to lure him, and then he ran with it. Now he has entered their trap,” Okonkwo said.

A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Kenneth Okonkwo, has alleged that the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, is the greatest fraud ever in politics.

Okonkwo made the allegation while fielding questions in an interview on Symfoni TV.

According to him, people who left the ADC in Enugu State claimed they were fraudulently extorted during the party’s primary election.

“I can tell you without mincing words that NDC is the greatest fraud that has ever happened.

“Aspirants in my state who left ADC for the NDC, called to tell me after the primary that those who wanted to be House of Representatives members, after paying their fees, were told they were going to pay a bribe of 10 million naira, and they paid.

“Those who wanted to be senators were told they would pay 20 million naira and they had to pay. And after that, they still collected their money and failed them. These are real aspirants under NDC,” he said.

Four members of the House of Representatives from Bauchi State have defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the Allied Peoples Movement, APM.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, read the defection notices during plenary on Thursday.

The defected lawmakers are Muhammed Shehu (Zaki federal constituency), Aliyu Garu (Bauchi federal constituency), Sani Tanko (Shira/Giade federal constituency), and Mansur Soro (Darazo/Ganjuwa federal constituency).

Similarly, the lawmaker representing Akwanga/Nasarawa Eggon/Wamba federal constituency of Nasarawa State, Jeremiah Umaru, also defected from the All Progressives Congress, APC, to the Social Democratic Party, SDP.

DAILY POST reports that several lawmakers in the green chamber have switched parties since the start of the year, ahead of the general election.

Recall that on Tuesday, eight lawmakers defected from the PDP to the APM. Three lawmakers also moved from the ruling APC to the PDP and the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC.

Also, on Wednesday, three legislators left the APC to join the Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, and the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
