Nigeria’s Ambassador to Germany, Femi Fani-Kayode, has described the members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as discredited people who are desperate for political power.
Papers News reports that Fani-Kayode, in a post via his Facebook page, dismissed the ADC as a credible opposition force, stressing that they are incapable of advancing the nation’s progress.
According to the former Aviation Minister, the opposition parties in the country have effectively collapsed and have failed in their primary role of holding the government accountable, citing internal conflicts and disunity as major setbacks.
He criticised opposition figures for engaging in infighting rather than presenting a coordinated challenge, adding that their lack of cohesion has rendered them ineffective.
He said, “I don’t see ADC as an opposition party: I see them as an association of people that are desperate for power.
“Individuals that are discredited, individuals that have no hope in hell of moving this nation forward. The opposition has collapsed in Nigeria.
“There is no opposition because they don’t even know how to be in opposition. How can they keep the government on its toes when they are busy bickering amongst themselves, fighting amongst themselves and they are fast asleep in bed snoring.”
