A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Senator Dino Melaye, has alleged that the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) is an agent of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Melaye’s claims come three days after former presidential candidate Peter Obi ditched the ADC for the NDC, citing internal crisis and prolonged litigation that has embroiled the ADC.
The ADC chieftain, in a post shared on X on Wednesday, questioned Obi’s resilience, adding that the former presidential candidate is seeking a free party ticket for the 2027 election.
Melaye claimed Obi has never contested in a party primary and has had tickets handed to him.

“Peter Obi excused himself from a tough situation. If he can not face party tribulations and crises, how does he intend to handle Nigeria? Because Nigeria wahala pass ADC problems oooo. He can only operate in an air-conditioned kitchen,” said Melaye.
“Hot kitchens are not for him. He has never gone through primary. APGA gave him a free Governorship ticket, Atiku gave him a free VP ticket, Labour gave him a free Presidential ticket. He can not be part of the Primary election, the reason he left PDP, the reason he left ADC for another free ticket in NDC. NDC is an agency of APC.”
The ADC, a coalition that vows to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027, has been battling a prolonged litigation. Melaye and other members of the party accuse the ruling party of stoking a crisis in the ADC to limit its chances of fielding a presidential candidate in 2027.
