The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has restated that it is a self-governing political party, insisting it is not controlled by any single person.
The party’s spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, said the ADC
remains accessible to all Nigerians, including prominent political figures such
as former presidential candidate Peter Obi and former Minister of
Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.
He maintained that no individual can claim ownership of the
party.
Abdullahi made the clarification during an appearance on
Politics Today on Channels Television, Friday, where he dismissed claims that
the ADC is being groomed to advance the presidential ambition of former Vice
President Atiku Abubakar.
According to him, such claims are unfounded and largely
driven by individuals who lack a proper understanding of the party’s internal
structure.
He explained that ADC members are fully aware that the party
operates on collective ownership, a principle that allows it to welcome
influential politicians from different backgrounds.
“Those of us within the ADC know that the party does not
belong to any one person. That is why someone like Peter Obi can join, and why
Rotimi Amaechi is already a member,” he said.
He further alleged that the ruling All Progressives
Congress, APC, is behind the growing speculation, accusing it of attempting to
interfere in the ADC’s internal affairs.
The ADC spokesperson also assured that the party’s
presidential candidate would be chosen through due process, stressing that the
outcome is not prearranged.
“Whoever eventually becomes our presidential candidate,
whether Atiku or any other aspirant, will emerge through a transparent and
credible process,” Abdullahi stated, reaffirming that the ADC is not the
personal platform of any individual.
