Go sort out your internal mess, stop blaming us - APC slams ADC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has strongly rebuked the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for its blaming of the ruling party for its internal issues and court challenges. APC National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka addressed the matter in a press statement, responding to ADC's accusations that the APC colluded with the judiciary to nullify its leadership and primary election results.

APC dismissed these allegations as senseless, stating that every time the court rules against the Mark-led faction of the ADC, they continue to accuse the APC of collusion and abuse of the judiciary. The ruling party emphasized that only courts and judges who uphold the authority and independence of the judiciary are worthy of respect, while those with differing opinions are a menace to society.

The APC cited a court case filed by ADC leaders against ADC pirate leaders, which was not initiated by the party but rather by ADC national officers who were victimized by David Mark's group. The ruling party condemned Mark and his associates for disregarding the rule of law and the internal democracy of the ADC, ultimately leading to the court's decision.

The APC argued that the judgment by Justice Peter Lifu, which dismissed the Mark-led leadership and annulled the primary election, was a result of the ADC's own lawlessness and showcased the vibrancy of the rule of law and the judiciary's independence in Nigeria. The APC urged the ADC to address its internal mess and stop engaging in partisan mudslinging, threatening to incite anarchy among Nigerians.

The ruling party described the ADC as a decaying party that is unfit to govern Nigeria, asserting that neither it nor the Tinubu administration will be deterred by the opposition's claims.
