A group under the aegis of Concerned Members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has raised alarm over an alleged plot by influential people, who they described as \u201cpowerful individuals\u201d to forcefully hijack the leadership of the party in Kogi State.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Speaking at a press conference in Kabba on Wednesday, the group\u2019s spokesperson, Usman Lukman, described the move as unconstitutional and warned that it would be resisted with every legal and constitutional means available.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cCredible intelligence available to us indicates that certain individuals, unknown to our structures and alien to our operations, are plotting to forcefully take over the leadership of the ADC in Kogi State,\u201d Lukman said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He stressed that while the Nigerian Constitution guarantees freedom of association, no individual or group has the right to topple the party\u2019s leadership through unlawful means.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe ADC is governed by its constitution, values, and democratic ethos. Those who recklessly destroyed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) cannot be allowed to invade our party and subject it to the same fate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe ADC in Kogi was built painstakingly from the grassroots and nurtured with sacrifice, loyalty, and discipline. Any attempt to hijack it through unconstitutional means will be firmly resisted,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The group reaffirmed its loyalty to Rt. Hon. Elder Leke Abejide, whom it described as the undisputed leader of the ADC in Kogi State.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It dismissed those allegedly plotting to destabilise the party as \u201cpolitical opportunists and strange bedfellows\u201d with no stake in the party\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It called on security agencies to urgently intervene, the group said the alleged plot poses a serious threat to peace and stability in the state.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cOur democracy thrives on order, respect for process, and adherence to the rule of law, not on desperate power grabs by faceless interlopers. Thousands of our members across the state are already agitated and determined to resist any attempt by frustrated political wanderers to destabilise our party,\u201d the group warned.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The group further advised security agencies not to recognise or provide security cover for any ADC meetings, gatherings, or activities not sanctioned by Elder Abejide or the constitutionally recognised state chairman of the party.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAny such gathering by faceless impostors is illegal, illegitimate, and calculated.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
