Kwankwaso stressed the importance of unity and collective progress within the party.
He noted that the ADC has grown significantly due to the involvement of prominent political figures, adding that internal disputes risk undermining that progress.
According to Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, any attempt by Nafiu Bala to obstruct the party’s forward movement could escalate tensions further.
He emphasised that cohesion remains essential for both the party’s stability and its broader political objectives.
Kwankwaso explained that efforts to resolve the leadership disagreement were affected when Nafiu Bala failed to attend a scheduled meeting.
He expressed disappointment over the absence, noting that the planned engagement was intended to address internal concerns and foster reconciliation.
He stated that the situation reflects deeper challenges within the party’s structure, warning that unresolved disagreements could weaken the party’s influence and affect Nigeria’s democratic landscape.
Kwankwaso further urged all stakeholders to prioritise dialogue and cooperation, describing unity as critical at a time when the party is expanding its base and attracting wider national attention.
