The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed reports in circulation that it is in talks with another political party, specifically the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), in anticipation of a court judgment.

In a statement, the National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, stated that the coalition leadership is not having any such conversation with any political party at the moment.

Abdullahi stated that the coalition is committed to ensuring that the illegal action taken against the ADC leadership by the Independent National Electoral Commission (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.

Abdullahi expressed the party’s openness to expanding the coalition to bring all opposition elements in the country together to rescue Nigeria, and vowed that the party will not abdicate the responsibility it has been saddled with.

“Therefore, any suggestion that we are considering abandoning the ADC is preemptive and speculative, and should be ignored.

“Notwithstanding the flagrant bastardisation of democratic institutions, the ADC leadership remains confident that the judicial institutions will, at this defining moment, resist the pressure to be complicit in undermining Nigeria’s democracy,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has said those who failed to “privatise” the African Democratic Congress (ADC) are planning on doing the same with the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP).

He posted on X, “After failed privatised ADC, I am hearing they are planning to go and privatise PRP and run on that platform. Privatisation without due process equals disintegration.”

Bwala, however, failed to mention the names of those his words target.
