The official website of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) experienced a major technical glitch following a surge in online traffic from Nigerians attempting to register as members of the newly formed opposition coalition party.
In a post shared on Friday, a user highlighted that the
disruption stemmed from an overwhelming influx of Nigerians eager to align
themselves with what is being described as a “rescue coalition.”
IntelRegion confirmed the incident, reporting that the site
malfunctioned due to excessive user demand as people flocked online to sign up
for the emerging political front.
The outage suggests the website infrastructure couldn’t
handle the sudden spike in visits, likely due to inadequate server capacity.
As of the time this report was compiled, the party had yet
to issue any official statement addressing the website crash.
This development came just two days after ADC was publicly
unveiled as the flagship platform for Nigeria’s new opposition alliance — a
movement intent on challenging the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general election.
A Facebook user, Unclè Anass Dukura, also reported
experiencing difficulty accessing the site, receiving repeated error messages.
“The public demand far exceeded what the platform was
originally built to support,” the user wrote.
The coalition was launched on Wednesday in Abuja as a
unified front for Nigeria’s opposition forces.
Prominent figures backing the new ADC-led coalition include
former Senate President David Mark; ex-Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola;
former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; and Labour Party’s 2023 presidential
candidate Peter Obi.
Also in attendance at the launch event were notable
political veterans such as former APC National Chairman John Oyegun, ex-Sokoto
State Governor Aminu Tambuwal, former Attorney General Abubakar Malami, Dino
Melaye, former Youth and Sports Minister Solomon Dalung, media mogul Dele
Momodu, Senator Gabriel Suswam, Senator Ireti Kingibe of the Labour Party,
former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Emeka Ihedioha, and
retired Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar.
Originally established in 2005 as the Alliance for
Democratic Change, the party was later rebranded as the African Democratic
Congress after it was officially registered by Nigeria’s Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC).
