ADC Accuses APC of Plotting Protests to Disrupt Leadership
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of planning protests in Abuja aimed at destabilizing its leadership.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the ADC claimed that the protests are part of a broader strategy to undermine the party following recent political developments.
Failed Electoral Commission Pressure
The ADC's National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, disclosed a failed attempt by the APC to pressure the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) into taking illegal action against the ADC.
According to the statement, the APC's actions stem from the party's recent momentum with the movement of H.E. Rabiu Kwankwaso to the ADC.
Alleged Government-Backed Protest
The ADC further alleged that a protest scheduled for Thursday, April 2, in Abuja, is being organized with the backing of a government official.
The party claimed that the protest would involve a 'paid crowd' posing as aggrieved members demanding the removal of Senator David Mark from the party's leadership.
ADC's Response
The ADC described the alleged move as part of a wider attempt by the APC to 'hijack' its leadership, warning that it reflects growing desperation.
The party vowed to remain law-abiding while resisting any unlawful interference.
