The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Monday faulted reports suggesting possibilities with other political parties ahead of the 2027 general elections, dismissing such claims as false and speculative.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, who refuted the claims in a statement posted on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, stated categorically that it was not true, adding that the coalition leadership is not having any such conversation with any political party
The statement reads further: “Our attention has been drawn to a story in circulation that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is in talks with another political party, specifically the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), in anticipation of a court judgement.
“We would like to state categorically that this is not true. The coalition leadership is not having any such conversation with any political party at the moment.”
The spokesperson in the release insisted that the party remains focused on challenging what it described as unlawful actions taken against its leadership.
Abdullahi restated confidence in the judiciary to uphold the rule of law.
“We are fully committed to ensuring that the illegal action taken against our leadership by INEC and other agents of the ruling party is upturned. We believe that this is the only path to safeguarding the rule of law and ensuring that multiparty democracy survives in Nigeria,” he said.
“While we are open to expanding the coalition to bring all opposition elements in the country together to rescue our country, we remain clear about the responsibility that this moment has imposed on us. We will not abdicate that responsibility.
“Any suggestion that we are considering abandoning the ADC is preemptive and speculative and should be ignored,” he stated.
Despite what he described as “the flagrant bastardisation of democratic institutions,” the Abdullahi sounded optimistic that the courts would act independently.
