APC forcing opposition governors into campaign council – ADC alleges

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of pressuring opposition governors to join the APC's presidential campaign council, rather than allowing them to remain in their respective political parties. Kola Ologbondiyan, ADC-PCC Director of Media and Publicity, denounced the move as "political abduction" and described it as a departure from true democracy.

He alleged that the APC was employing state power and key government institutions to weaken opposition parties and consolidate political control, thereby undermining Nigeria's multiparty democracy. Ologbondiyan called on Nigerians to resist this unethical political system and stand up against what he described as immoral politics.

The ADC-PCC spokesman also expressed concern over growing political intolerance, harassment of opposition figures, and the undermining of democratic institutions for partisan purposes. He argued that the APC government was using Nigeria's economic challenges and security issues to suppress citizens and weaken opposition parties.

Ologbondiyan endorsed Atiku Abubakar, former Vice-President and presidential candidate of the APC, as the candidate who could restore Nigeria's democratic institutions and address the country's challenges, stating that the fate of Nigeria's democracy now rests on Atiku's shoulders.
