The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is locked in a high-stakes, nail-biting showdown following its nationwide presidential primary elections on Monday.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Appearing on Arise Television’s Prime Time, the National Publicity Secretary of the ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi, lauded the sheer scale of the internal election, boasting that the political structure is entirely free from godfatherism. However, the fiercely contested exercise has already been hit by explosive allegations of fraud and forced step-down plots by a frontline 2027 presidential hopeful.

“No Single Individual Controls Us” — Party Leadership Boasts

Abdullahi painted a picture of absolute democratic transparency, labeling the current exercise as the most unpredictable and competitive internal election he has ever witnessed in his political career:

• Eminently Qualified Field: The party boasts three top-tier aspirants—Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, Atiku Abubakar, and Rotimi Amaechi—all of whom the leadership claims are more qualified to lead than President Bola Tinubu.

• Too Close to Call: The competition is so stiff that party headquarters remains completely in the dark regarding localized victories.

• Massive Turnout: Thousands of party members trooped out across various wards globally to cast their ballots, creating an unpredictable voting pattern.

Bolaji Abdullahi: “The ADC is the only party today that is not controlled by an individual… Even as I speak to you, I cannot tell you who won in my home state, Kwara, and in many other states that I have been closely watching. It is that competitive.”

Hayatu-Deen Blows the Whistle on “Ugly Criminality”

In sharp contrast to the leadership’s glowing review, frontline 2027 presidential aspirant Mohammed Hayatu-Deen has raised an alarm over sophisticated sabotage, intimidation, and electoral malpractice cutting across several northern states.

Speaking shortly after casting his vote in his home state of Borno, the seasoned politician exposed an underground plot to forcefully hijack the tickets:

1. Fake “Step-Down” Propaganda

Hayatu-Deen revealed that criminal elements deliberately misinformed gathered delegates in Kaduna State and Zaria, falsely claiming he had withdrawn from the race under a consensus arrangement to suppress his votes.

2. Result Manipulation & Seclusion

While praising the peaceful turnout in Southern Borno, he alleged that corrupt electoral officials explicitly refused to collate the votes in public. Instead, they reportedly fled to a secluded location to doctor the official result sheets away from voters and agents.

3. Coercive Phone Calls

The aspirant disclosed that he has faced immense psychological pressure from anonymous high-ranking individuals ordering him to abandon his presidential ambitions.

The internal friction comes after the ADC officially cleared a heavyweight trio to battle for the party’s ultimate banner:

[ Mohammed Hayatu-Deen ] ⚡ [ Atiku Abubakar ] ⚡ [ Rotimi Amaechi ]

Mohammed Hayatu-Deen: “It is unimaginable that anybody could be so cheeky as to call me to step down… In Zaria, people were denied their rights. This act is criminal and fraudulent. We are not prepared to tolerate this criminality, and we are going to fight it to the end.”

While Hayatu-Deen has vowed to legally challenge the “ugly and disturbing” anomalies to preserve the party’s integrity ahead of the 2027 general elections, the ADC leadership insists the deadlock is merely a symptom of a highly functional, uncompromised democracy.

Speaking with popular media personality Chude Jideonwo, the actor didn’t hold back, dropping a raw and highly controversial piece of advice for individuals struggling with toxic, absent, or estranged parents.

Grief as the Ultimate Proof of Love

Reflecting on the profound impact of his mother’s passing, Franklin explained that experiencing intense grief completely transformed his perspective on human connection. According to the actor, the agonizing pain of loss is simply the price of deep love:

• The Ultimate Loss: Franklin revealed that his mother was the single most important anchor in his life, and her death left an unhealable wound in his heart.

• A Mother’s Impact: He credited her strict and loving upbringing for shaping him into the successful man and respected actor he is today.

• The Revelation of Loss: He noted that many people live life oblivious to the depth of their affection for someone until that person is permanently gone.

Bucci Franklin: “My mom raised me right. I’ve come to understand that grief is a sign that you really did understand the meaning of love. So, you must lose someone before you know you can love. The most important person in my life… I lost that person.”

“Call Them, Whether They Are Useless or Not”

In a closing segment that has set social media buzzing, the movie star urged his fans to look past resentments, busy schedules, or imperfect family dynamics.

Franklin emphatically stated that even if a parent has failed in their duties, children should still make an effort to reach out to them while they are still breathing.

The Controversial Advice: “My advice to everybody that has a parent, whether your parent is useless or not, find time, reach out to them. Call them, make them laugh, because a time will come when you will wish you had the opportunity to just play with them again.”

The Reality of Regret

The actor concluded by reminding the public that life is fleeting, warning that the day is fast approaching when millions will stare at a phone screen wishing they had the chance to make a final connection.
