A major opposition party is facing a severe internal crisis as a wave of its elected officials deserts its ranks. Governors and federal lawmakers are reportedly switching their allegiance, dealing a heavy blow to the party’s stability and public image.

In a sharp public statement, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) mocked the party’s leader, Yilwatda, for the escalating defections. The ADC claimed that this rush for the exits is a clear sign of a sinking ship and that no amount of last-minute political maneuvering can save his party from its current decline.

“The departure of your governors and lawmakers will not save your party,” the ADC declared. They suggested that the defections are a direct result of a weak and failing leadership under Yilwatda, pointing to a lack of internal unity and a clear vision for the future.

This public taunting from a rival highlights the deepening troubles within Yilwatda’s party. With a crucial election cycle approaching, the loss of key figures threatens to shatter the party’s foundation, leaving its remaining members and supporters in a state of uncertainty and doubt about its survival.
