Paul Ibe, media aide to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, stated that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) will decide its presidential candidate at the appropriate time.
The remark comes amid several top politicians within the party expressing interest in the presidency.
In a post on his Facebook page, Ibe said there is nothing wrong with the number of contenders, noting that a coalition is growing out of anger over the performance of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

He claimed that the coalition is frustrated that the current government has “made a mess of Nigeria within two years of being in power.”
He wrote: “The ADC Coalition leaders are angry with the mess that Tinubu has made of Nigeria. They’re angry at how the material condition of the average citizen has deteriorated. They’re angry at how Nigerians have become poorer.
“They’re angry at the skyrocketing prices of food. They’re angry that even the minimum wage cannot not even buy a bag of rice because the Tinubu-led APC administration’s policies have snowballed inflation.
“They’re livid at the worsening insecurity that has left Nigerians at the mercy of terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, and marauding blood thirsty killers. Their anger is in response to the collective anger of Nigerians who are desirous of a change.
“There’s nothing wrong in all of them wanting to be president. The delegates of the party will, at the appropriate time, determine who will be the presidential candidate. That is DEMOCRACY (as opposed to Tinubu’s DICTATORSHIP) at work.
“What is wrong is when you sign up to be president like Tinubu, and your era is marked by incompetence and cluelessness. That is a waste of opportunity.”
