The All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied allegations by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) of a plot to destabilise the party, describing the claims as false, baseless, and a cover-up for its internal crisis.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Felix Morka, APC national
publicity secretary, said the ADC is “haunted by its own shadow” by resorting
to “lies and deception” in a bid to stay relevant.
On Monday, the ADC alleged that President Bola Tinubu’s
administration is working with unnamed federal officials to coerce its state
chairmen in the north-east and north-west during a “secret meeting”.
But Morka said the opposition party failed to offer any
credible evidence and only cited “nonsensical intelligence” to support what he
called a fictitious narrative.
“Clearly, there was no such meeting, and certainly, no one
could have been coerced or intimidated at a meeting that never was,” he said.
Morka added that the ADC’s claims were a “pre-emptive
excuse” for its looming collapse, likening the party to “Humpty Dumpty, whose
great fall could not be put back together again”.
He said the ruling party had no interest in sowing discord
in the ADC, which he described as a “mortally wounded” group battling internal
strife.
“The ADC needs no help from our great party to unravel,”
Morka said.
He accused the coalition’s leadership of hijacking the party
through a “Gestapo-like takeover” and lacking the competence to manage internal
affairs.
Morka said the ADC is now a gathering of “failed and
restless presidential contenders” who had plundered other opposition platforms
before arriving at the opposition party.
“What good can possibly come out of a coalition of our
country’s most inept politicians and architects of misrule, corruption,
poverty, and underdevelopment?” he queried.
He added that the party had failed to present any
alternative vision for governance beyond attacking the APC and President
Tinubu.
“The ADC and its leaders may be convinced of their ability
to lie their way to presidential victory, but they have a highly intelligent
and discerning Nigerian electorate to contend with,” he said.
Morka credited the Tinubu administration with “economic reconstruction
and wholesome transformation,” saying the president’s achievements were
“incomparable and unassailable”.
“While the opposition wallows in self-inflicted confusion,
the Tinubu administration and our great party remain undistracted and will continue
to build a virile and vibrant country for this and future generations of
Nigerians,” Morka said.
On Sunday, Morka said the APC is not worried about the
emergence of an opposition coalition seeking to unseat Tinubu in the 2027
elections.
Speaking during an interview on Arise TV, Morka claimed that
current leaders of the ADC plunged Nigeria into economic stagnation and
poverty.
