‘Stop Attacking Each Other, It’s Childish’, Ugochinyere Charges ADC, NDC, LP

The lawmaker representing Ideato North and South federal vonstituency of Imo State in the House of Representatives, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, has called on opposition political parties, particularly the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), and the Labour Party (LP), to stop what he described as unnecessary internal attacks and instead focus on building unity capable of strengthening democratic opposition in the country.

According to a press statement released on Thursday, the lawmaker described the growing culture of public bickering, accusations, and needless confrontations among opposition figures as childish and counterproductive.

“This is not the time for unnecessary fights and media attacks against one another. Nigerians expect the opposition to provide direction, hope, and credible alternatives, not endless quarrels that weaken collective strength,” he said.

Ugochinyere stressed that personal interests and ego-driven politics must give way to cooperation, dialogue, and strategic alliance-building in the nation’s and the people’s interest.

He further urged leaders and members of the parties to concentrate on issues affecting Nigerians, including insecurity, economic hardship, unemployment, and governance challenges, rather than dissipating energy on internal divisions.

According to the APP chieftain, unity remained the strongest weapon for any political movement seeking to inspire confidence among citizens and deepen democratic values.

“The people are watching. What Nigerians want to see is maturity, unity, and a common purpose. Opposition politics should not become a battlefield of insults and bitterness,” he stated.
