An opinion poll energised the movement behind Peter Obi's presidential bid but another minor party, ADC, is in crisis close to the campaigns.

, to pick the presidential tickets of the Labour Party and New Nigerian People’s Party respectively.

With his supporters making themselves heard across different social platforms since he decided to run on the platform of a small party, the former Anambra governor is widely seen as the biggest threat to the candidate of the ruling APC, Bola Tinubu, and Atiku Abubakar of the PDP. Not surprisingly, the APC, PDP and NNPP were united in immediately questioning the credibility of the poll.

Mr Kachikwu has rejected the sanction and insists he remains the candidate of the party for the 25 February 2023 presidential election.The feud in the ADC began in late August when 27 of the 37 state chairpersons of the party called for the resignation of their national chairman, Ralph Nwosu. In the video, Mr Kachikwu criticised Mr Nwosu for clinging to his position after serving the maximum two terms allowed by the constitution of the party.The NWC led by Mr Nwosu dismissed the content of the video as “crass irresponsibility, callous indiscipline, false scandalisation and blackmail and entirely unsuitable of someone who wants to be president of Nigeria.”

The constitution of the ADC empowers a disciplinary committee to investigate alleged infractions by its members and recommend sanctions. This newspaper also observed that the NWC did not announce the setting up of a disciplinary committee before announcing the expulsions and has not disclosed the names of the members of the committee.

This newspaper also gathered that Mr Kachikwu and some state chairpersons have engaged a senior lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, to lead their legal battle to kick out Mr Nwosu and his NWC.
