Former Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has raised concerns over a fresh plot to keep the opposition party, the African Democratic Congress, off the ballot in the 2027 general elections.
In a statement by his spokesperson, Phrank Shaibu, he said
elements within President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government want to use political
and legal machinations to exclude the ADC from the ballot.
Atiku urged its supporters to reject every attempt to
cherry-pick which opposition parties are permitted to participate in the coming
election.
He noted that the ruling party may conspire against
democracy but would not decide.
“We are fully aware of their plots. While they seek to sow
confusion within the opposition, we know their real target is the ADC because
it represents the most credible alternative.
“We therefore call on all Nigerians—not just ADC members and
supporters— to rise in defence of democracy and reject any attempt by the
ruling party to cherry-pick which opposition parties are permitted to
participate in the next general election.
“Our message to the APC and the hooded men plotting in dark
chambers is simple: you may conspire, but you will not succeed. If the APC is
truly confident in its popularity, why is it so terrified of the ADC?” Atiku
queried.
