<p>Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has accused Nafiu Bala, the party’s factional chairman, of acting against democratic principles.</p>
<p>In an interview with DCL Hausa on Tuesday, Kwankwaso revealed that he had invited Bala for a meeting aimed at resolving the party’s crisis amicably, but Bala failed to show up.</p>
<p>“We scheduled to meet yesterday, but despite waiting until morning, he did not come. I had been warned he wouldn’t show up, and his absence is deeply disappointing. I want to pass my message through you now, so that if you meet him, you can deliver it on my behalf,” Kwankwaso said.</p>

<p>He added, “Given the current situation in our country, our party and our democracy cannot afford someone who behaves like the lizard at the mouth of the water pot—blocking progress. As a leader of this movement in Nigeria, I believed that when I invited him, he would honour the request so I could advise him, as a father would a son.”</p>

<p>Kwankwaso noted that Bala was born in 1990 and still needs guidance as a youth. “His current actions are not only harmful to his own future, but also to the ADC and Nigerian democracy as a whole.”</p>
<p>He further warned, “He must recognise that millions have registered with our party. What was once a small party has grown significantly because prominent leaders joined with a mission to do what is right for this country. If he continues to stand in the way of that progress, it will become a very serious problem for him.”</p>
<p>The senator also called on the Emir of Gombe, other traditional rulers, and Islamic scholars (Ulamas) to intervene in the dispute.</p>
<p>“This is a serious matter, and he must realise his mistakes so we can resolve it. I offer this advice freely because I know it is for everyone’s benefit,” Kwankwaso concluded.</p>
