Femi Fani-Kayode, Nigeria’s Ambassador to Germany, has dismissed the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a credible opposition force, describing the party as driven by desperation for political power.
He argued that the ADC is made up of individuals he considers discredited and incapable of moving the country forward.
The former Aviation minister also claimed that the opposition landscape in Nigeria has effectively collapsed.
Writing on his Facebook page, he said opposition parties have failed in their core duty of holding the government accountable.
According to him, internal crises and deep divisions have weakened their ability to act as a united front. He criticised opposition figures for engaging in constant infighting instead of presenting a coordinated challenge.
“I don’t see ADC as an opposition party: I see them as an association of people that are desperate for power,” he wrote. He added,
“There is no opposition because they don’t even know how to be in opposition… they are busy bickering amongst themselves and are fast asleep.”
