Controversy as Tinubu’s Chief of Staff Urges Rep to 'Stay in ADC and Scatter Them'

There has been widespread criticism after Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, encouraged House member Leke Abejide to “stay in ADC and scatter them.” His remarks came amid an ongoing factional struggle within the African Democratic Congress. Speaking at a private event in Abuja, Gbajabiamila praised Abejide’s loyalty and urged him to intensify internal party battles rather than defect. The video of his speech quickly went viral and ignited online backlash. Many Nigerians accused the ruling APC of meddling in opposition affairs and undermining democratic principles. Social media users described the comments as undemocratic and reckless. The debate highlights concerns over political interference as parties reshape ahead of future elections.
