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).

I wonder how the ADC people will call for registration now when the website bandwidth wasn't built for such a huge and unexpected traffic.
