The African Democratic Congress (ADC) National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, has claimed that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is showing signs of anxiety ahead of the forthcoming general elections.
News360 Info reports that Abdullahi, during an appearance on One-on-One, an Arise TV programme, on Saturday, asserted that the APC will not win in a free and fair election in Nigeria.
He described the APC as a “special purpose vehicle” created to deliver the presidencies of the late Muhammadu Buhari and Tinubu, adding that the party has largely fulfilled that purpose.
He said, “In any free and fair election in Nigeria today, there’s no way APC will win.
“Why is a party with 31 governors and about 90 percent of the National Assembly still panicking? Why are they still trying to destabilise other opposition parties?
“They should be preparing for Tinubu’s win, given their overwhelming governance. But they are unsettled because they know in a free and fair election, there is no way they can win. Nigerians are tired of them.”
Abdullahi also revealed that the ADC is considering adopting a consensus approach in selecting its presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.
He said the party has the options of direct primaries and consensus in choosing its flagbearer.
The ADC chieftain noted that indirect primaries are “no longer on the table” in line with the amended Electoral Act.
