Former Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Hadi Abubakar Sirika, has come out to make it clear that, he has no intentions to join the “so-called” African Democratic Congress (ADC) Coalition.
This is coming after Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, claimed on TV, the erstwhile Minister has joined the coalition.
Sirika said, he is a founding member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), and even gave the ‘Broom’ Party its name.
He said, “I will always be where President Buhari is”, adding, anyone that hates the former President should go ahead and hate him too.
Hadi Sirika served as Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development from 2019 to 2023 under the Muhammadu Buhari government.
Taking to X, Sirika said: “I watched HE Nyesom Wike today on Arise claiming that I have joined the so called coalition. Whilst still in shock, I read on Premium Times this evening, a report credited to Chief Bayo Onanuga, making the same claim.
“I am a founding member of the APC, I gave it its name. I have no plans to leave it. I will always be where President Buhari is. If you must hate him, hate me too. I have no apology.
“At their levels, they ought to fact check. I call upon our loyal members to ignore both statements and consider them pedestrian.”
