A Capacity National Leader, Comrade Edede, Maduabuchi Franklyn has allegedly described Prof. Pat Utomi’s entry into the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as “unfortunate,” warning that it could have adverse effects on the party’s cohesion and direction.
Cardinal Edede Franklyn addressed pressing political and national issues in a statement he released on Monday.
While emphasizing the importance of vigilance within political structures to ensure that party ideals and objectives are preserved, and that members act in the interest of collective growth, the Capacity National Leader alleged that Utomi’s involvement may include elements that could destabilize the ADC from within, describing his actions as those of a potential mole attempting to influence internal decisions.
He called on party members and stakeholders to remain focused on unity and constructive engagement to safeguard the party’s core mission.
On the subject of national politics, Cardinal Edede spoke about the Atiku-Obi 2027 presidency conversation, noting that discussions around leadership alignment and political strategy are intensifying as the nation prepares for the next electoral cycle.
Urging political actors to prioritize national interest and responsible leadership in shaping these conversations, Edede also addresses broader governance issues, calling on political leaders across Nigeria to uphold accountability, transparency, and policy clarity.
The statement has generated attention among political analysts, civic observers, and party stakeholders, who view the comments as relevant to ongoing opposition party dynamics and the broader national political landscape.
As Nigeria approaches another electoral period, Comrade Edede’s intervention adds weight to ongoing debates about leadership, party loyalty, and strategic planning, underscoring the significance of clarity, unity, and vision in national political conversations.
