“We want someone who is hot-blooded, not someone cool, who will go for a House of Representatives seat.”
However, Zubby Michael has not confirmed any intention to contest for elective office.
The development comes amid a reported surge in new memberships in the ADC following the Independent National Electoral Commission’s recent decision concerning the party’s leadership structure.
ADC National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, said in a statement on his X handle on April 5 that the party’s membership had risen sharply, from over 40,000 registrations on April 2 to more than 500,000 new members between April 1 and the latest update.
