‘ADC Is His Personal Party’ — Lawmaker Uzokwe Explodes Over Atiku’s Control, Reveals Why They Walked Away [VIDEO]

Philips News reports that a fresh political controversy is brewing as Hon. Ifeanyi Uzokwe, a member representing Nnewi North, Nnewi South, and Ekwusigo in the House of Representatives in the 10th Assembly, has publicly explained the reasons behind his decision to leave the African Democratic Congress (ADC), pointing fingers at former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

Speaking candidly on Channels TV’s Politics Today, monitored by this reporter, Uzokwe alleged that the internal structure and leadership dynamics of the ADC had become overly centralized, leaving little room for inclusivity or democratic engagement.

“ADC Became a Personal Structure” — Uzokwe Claims

According to the lawmaker, the breaking point came after statements allegedly made by Atiku Abubakar regarding his influence over the party.

“We left ADC because His Excellency Atiku Abubakar said that the coalition was formed in his house, that ADC is his party, and that nobody will tell him anything,” Uzokwe stated.

The lawmaker’s remarks suggest growing dissatisfaction within party ranks, particularly among those who believe that the direction of the ADC is dictated by a single powerful figure.

Internal Crisis or Political Realignment?

Uzokwe’s comments highlight a deeper issue often seen in political parties — the struggle between collective leadership and individual dominance. His allegations point to concerns that:

• Decision-making processes may lack transparency
• Party members could feel sidelined
• Internal democracy might be weakening

While the ADC has positioned itself as a platform for coalition politics and reform, such claims could affect its credibility among supporters and stakeholders.
