Member representing Yagba East/Yagba West/Mopamuro federal constituency, Leke Abejide, has predicted that the opposition coalition adopted party, Action Democratic Congress, ADC, will completely collapse in September.

Mr Abejide, who was elected under the ADC platform, said the coalition’s inability to win a single seat in the August 16 by-elections was the beginning of the end of the movement.

Speaking during an interview on Channels TV, Mr Abejide who described himself as the “landlord” of the ADC, said he had taken the party to its current height.

“You can see that the coalition collapsed last Saturday; all over the country, they could not even win one seat. That was the beginning of the end.

“By early next month, the coalition will collapse completely, because you cannot come to somebody’s house, hijack his house, and you think that the person, no matter how stupid he is, will be looking at you,” he said.

The lawmaker added that, “I will let them know that I am the landlord. I didn’t establish the party, but I am the one who made the party remain where it is today.

“I have never decamped to a big party; I have used it [the ADC] to contest all my elections and brought people, apart from myself, to the National Assembly and the state assembly,” he added.

The lawmaker also said that none of the coalition leaders knew that the party existed before they agreed to adopt it as a platform.

He said a former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, and a former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, were not card-carrying members of the ADC.

Mr Abejide also said that though a former president of the senate, David Mark, and a former Osun State governor, Rauf Aregbesola, were formally members of the ADC, they had no leadership positions in the party.
