Gathering of Desperate Jackals Craving Return to Power — Fani-Kayode Mocks ADC Convention

‎Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has criticised the recent national convention organised by a faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing it as disorganised and lacking credibility.

‎In a statement posted on his X handle on Saturday, Fani-Kayode said the event exposed poor coordination and internal disunity within the faction

‎He also alleged that attendees appeared uncomfortable due to inadequate facilities, including the lack of proper air-conditioning.

‎

‎“I watched a faction of the ADC conducting what they described as their party convention a few days ago & it was pitiful.

‎

‎“I saw an overcrowded hall filled with hot, sweaty, men & women,” he said.

‎

‎He further claimed that the gathering was marked by confusion and disorder among participants.

‎

‎They sweated profusely, argued loudly amongst themselves, broke into fisticuffs.”

‎

‎Fani-Kayode also recounted what he described as an awkward moment during the event involving an elderly participant.

‎

‎“He took the microphone and screamed ‘APC’ before realising he was actually in an ADC Convention,” he said.

‎

‎The former minister went on to criticise the tone and organisation of the event, questioning its seriousness and direction.

‎

‎“Forgive me for saying so but this was indeed a strange gathering who have no sense of purpose, unity or direction.

‎

‎“What we witnessed was more of a gathering of hungry, ragged & desperate jackals & long-rejected souls that are craving for a return to power rather than the Convention of a legitimate & serious political party.

‎

‎“Mr. President rightly described theirs as a ‘street Convention’. What he failed to add was that it was a street Convention of vagabonds, riggers & wanderers,” he stated.

‎

‎He dismissed the political strength of the faction ahead of future elections, concluding: “Bottom line? The ADC ain’t going nowhere!”
