Spox of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Bolaji Abdullahi, has responded after National Chairman of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, said, ““key ADC figures” will be received into the APC next week”.
Bolaji said, the ‘Broom’ Party has now realised that, even if all the State Governors dumped their Parties and joined the APC, it “cannot be saved”.
Taking to X to react, Bolaji said: “The attention of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has been drawn to the declaration by the National Chairman of the ruling APC, Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda, at a stakeholders’ meeting in Jos that “key ADC figures” will be received into the APC next week.
“This statement underscores a deep realisation by the ruling party that it cannot be saved even if all the governors in Nigeria defected to the ruling party. This is why even with all the governors and senators they have been bragging about, the APC is still desperate for ADC members.”
In his comment on the recent high-profile defections to the APC, the Coalition Party Chief said, it is a “gang-up against the people by a ruling elite” who have abandoned the people in abject poverty.
Bolaji said: “No amount of defections can save the party from Nigerians.
“Like we have noted earlier, the recent gale of high-profile defections to the ruling party is properly understood by ordinary Nigerians as a gang-up against the people by a ruling elite who have left the people behind in abject poverty and are only interested in self-preservation even as their people wallow in misery.
“We wonder if the APC has run out of governors to seduce that it has now turned to shadowy references to unnamed ADC members? If these individuals are so “key”, let the chairman of the hated party mention their names.
“The APC will also learn the bitter lesson that real democratic power lies with the people and not a few power merchants.”
