Similarly, Ardo revealed that he personally met with Dr Kwankwaso and also called him a day or two before the former governor’s reported move to the NDC. During these interactions, he outlined the legal and procedural problems facing the party, hoping to dissuade him from joining. Despite these efforts, both Obi and Kwankwaso proceeded with their involvement in the NDC, according to Ardo.
He maintained that their entry into the party had not altered the fundamental issues surrounding its registration. “The fact that they entered doesn’t mean that it has changed the situation,” Ardo said. “The situation is as bad as it has always been.” He reiterated that his only motive was to protect the integrity of Nigeria’s electoral process, urging citizens not to support a party that emerged through questionable means.
As the political landscape continues to evolve ahead of future elections, Ardo’s warnings highlight growing scrutiny over party registrations and the importance of transparency in Nigeria’s democracy. The ongoing legal challenges to the NDC’s legitimacy may influence voter confidence and party dynamics in the coming months.
