ADC Tensions Explode: Rabiu Kwankwaso, Nafiu Bala Clash Over Age, Leadership & Party Crisis

Fresh drama has erupted within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as Nafiu Bala fires back at Rabiu Kwankwaso, escalating the party’s internal crisis ahead of 2027.

Bala dismissed claims about his age, clarifying he is 46—not 35—while urging older politicians to step aside and allow younger leaders to take charge. He also accused Kwankwaso of acting like an outsider and interfering in party affairs without proper standing.

In a sharp rebuttal, Bala described Kwankwaso as an “APC mole” and insisted he lacks the moral authority to comment on ADC disputes, especially after refusing to step down during the 2023 elections.

Meanwhile, Kwankwaso expressed disappointment after Bala failed to attend a scheduled meeting, calling it a missed opportunity for guidance. He urged traditional and political leaders, including the Emir of Gombe, to intervene and caution Bala against actions that could destabilize the party.

The escalating war of words highlights deep fractures within the ADC, raising concerns about unity, leadership direction, and the future of opposition politics in Nigeria.
