Kwankwaso warned that any action of Bala that could stop the party from moving forward might lead to serious problems, as there is a leadership issue happening within the opposition group. In an interview with DCL Hausa, he emphasized the importance of coming together and working as one within the party. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1524595905268-5'); }); According to Kwankwaso: “He needs to understand that millions of people have signed up; a party that started small has become much bigger because important leaders came on board with a goal to do what’s best for the country. “If he keeps getting in the way of that progress, it will turn into a major issue for him.” Kwankwaso also said that trying to fix the disagreement stopped when Bala didn’t show up for a planned meeting. “We had planned to meet yesterday, but even after waiting until the morning, he didn’t come. “I had been told he wouldn’t show up, and his not being there is really upsetting,” he said. He also warned that these actions could harm both the party and Nigeria’s democracy. He added, “In our current national situation, our party and our democracy don’t need someone acting like ‘the lizard at the mouth of the water pot.” Don't Miss 2027: Again, Bashir Ahmad laments as another Kano ex-gov set to join ADC You may like 2027: Again, Bashir Ahmad laments as another Kano ex-gov set to join ADC APC loses Senator Gaya to ADC in Kano ADC: State chairmen were part of programme that made David Mark chairman – Nwosu 2027: Nigerians express mixed reactions over possible Obi–Kwankwaso ticket ‘You’re APC mole, can’t bully me’ – Nafiu Bala replies Kwankwaso as ADC crisis deepens Rivers ADC pushes ahead with planned congresses amid leadership crisis
