African Democratic Congress, ADC, lawmaker, Leke Abejide, on Friday vowed to show the opposition coalition that he’s the “landlord” of the party.
Abejide, who represents Yagba East/Yagba West/Mopamuro of Kogi state, in the House of Representatives, said the ADC will resist the coalition.
He noted that he was responsible for ADC’s current height politically.
The lawmaker said the coalition made up of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, David Mark, Rotimi Amaechi, Dino Melaye, Babachir Lawal will not be allowed to hijack the ADC without resistance.
He spoke during an interview on Channels Television’s Morning Brief.
Abejide noted that the just-concluded by-elections was an eye opener that the end was near for the coalition as they would be expunged from the ADC.
He said: “You cannot come to somebody’s house, hijack his house, and you think that the person, no matter how stupid he is, will be looking at you.
“I will let them know that I am the landlord. I didn’t establish the party, but I am the one who made the party remain where it is today.”
Recently, Abejide had vowed to muscle the ADC out of the hands of Atiku and the coalition.
He noted that the takeover of ADC’s leadership by the Mark-led coalition was not in line with the party’s constitution.
The coalition recently took over the ADC in preparation for the 2027 presidential election.
