2027: APC Plotting One-Party Dictatorship in Nigeria – ADC Alleges

The African Democratic Congress presidential campaign
council (ADC-PCC) has described the inauguration of an expanded All
Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council as a calculated
attempt to impose a one-party dictatorship on Nigeria.

 

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Kola Ologbondiyan,
ADC-PCC director of media and publicity, alleged that the ruling party was
undermining Nigeria’s multiparty democracy by “coercing opposition governors
into its fold or incorporating them into its presidential campaign council
despite their refusal to defect from their respective political parties”.

 

“What we are witnessing is not politics but political
abduction,” he said.

 

“You cannot claim to be a democrat while using state power
to force opposition governors into your party and then drafting them into your
campaign council. This is political banditry.”

 

 

Ologbondiyan added that the APC was pursuing a political
agenda that could concentrate power in the hands of one individual.

 

He said key national institutions, security agencies and the
judiciary were being deployed to weaken opposition forces.

 

The ADC-PCC spokesperson urged Nigerians of conscience to
resist what he described as an immoral political order driven by the desire to
retain power at the expense of citizens’ welfare.

 

 

He accused the ruling party of showing little concern for
the economic hardship, hunger and insecurity confronting ordinary Nigerians.

 

“These particular sets of leaders don’t care about the
current conditions of the people but how best to remain in power at a time when
average Nigerians find it difficult to eat and be secure,” he said.

 

Ologbondiyan further alleged that Nigeria’s democracy was
facing one of its most difficult periods, citing what he described as the
suppression of dissenting voices, harassment of opposition figures and
weakening of democratic institutions for partisan gain.

 

“Never in our democratic journey have we witnessed this
level of intolerance and desperation. The APC government has weaponised
poverty, hunger and insecurity to subjugate Nigerians and cripple the
opposition. This is not the democracy for which Chief M.K.O. Abiola and other
martyrs paid the supreme price,” he said.

 

 

He maintained that Atiku Abubakar, the ADC presidential
candidate, and Rotimi Amaechi, his running mate, had the experience and
credentials needed to restore democratic governance and reunite the country.

 

Describing Atiku as a committed democrat, Ologbondiyan said
the former vice-president had the national reach and political experience to
address Nigeria’s challenges and rebuild public confidence in democratic
institutions.

 

“Atiku Abubakar is a democrat to the core. He has the
national spread, the capacity and the will to reunite Nigeria and restore our
battered democracy, which the APC has destroyed,” he said.

 

“The fate of Nigeria’s democracy rests on him to save it
from total collapse.”

 

 

The ADC-PCC spokesperson called on Nigerians, media
organisations, civil society groups and the international community to oppose
what he described as APC’s anti-democratic agenda and support efforts to
protect multiparty democracy.

 

The APC announced an expanded list of its presidential
campaign council on Tuesday, including Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal
Capital Territory (FCT); Ademola Adeleke, governor of Osun; and Chukwuma
Soludo, governor of Anambra.

 

 

Wike was appointed coordinator of the party’s campaign in
Rivers and the FCT, while Soludo and Adeleke were named coordinators for
Anambra and Osun, respectively.

 

Adegboyega Oyetola, minister of marine and blue economy, was
appointed deputy national coordinator for stakeholders’ mobilisation in the
south-west.
