The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has claimed that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) remains unsettled ahead of the 2027 general elections despite its dominance across the country.
Speaking on Politics Today, a Channels Television programme on Wednesday, the party’s spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, said the APC was “still panicking” even with about 34 governors and control of the National Assembly.
“We are the ones who have the burden to convince Nigerians to vote for us. We are the ones who have the responsibility to do the necessary things that would make Nigerians vote for us and we are calm because we know what we are doing,” Abdullahi said.
“We in the ADC are calm, but they (the APC) are the ones; after having about 34 governors in their camp and almost all the National Assembly, they are still panicking. They are still sponsoring court cases against the ADC,” he added.
The ADC spokesman also accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of undermining opposition parties in a bid to emerge as the sole candidate in the 2027 presidential election.
Drawing a parallel with Nigeria’s military era, Abdullahi referenced the late Head of State, Sani Abacha, alleging a similar pattern.
“During military rule, Abacha created five political parties and encouraged them to make him the sole presidential candidate, but what we are seeing now is that the APC government is destroying every other political party so President Bola Tinubu will remain the sole candidate in 2027,” he said.
Abdullahi further argued that public sentiment has turned against the ruling party, insisting that many Nigerians no longer have confidence in the APC-led administration.
“It appears to us that the majority of Nigerians have concluded that this APC government has failed,” he stated.
