The African Democratic Congress, ADC, on Wednesday said President Bola Tinubu will be removed through the ballot and not bullets.


It dismissed insinuations that the coalition is interested in truncating democracy in Nigeria.

ADC’s Interim National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, accused Tinubu of laying the foundation for a clampdown on opposition leaders.


He made the remark in response to a tweet by Tinubu’s spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, who alleged that the opposition was planning to overthrow the President.

Onanuga had said the coalition had ganged up to overthrow Tinubu’s administration.

Rubbishing Onanuga’s comment, Abdullahi described his remark as reckless and unsubstantiated.


In a statement he signed, Abdullahi said Onanuga’s comment shows that Tinubu’s administration is out to intimidate and repress opposition political leaders in Nigeria.

He noted that ADC would explore Democratic means to ensure Tinubu’s removal from office and not by overthrowing him.

The statement reads partly: “ADC condemned the tweet made by an aide of President Bola Tinubu, Onanuga, which alleges that the opposition is planning to overthrow the Tinubu government before 2027.


“If[b] anything, it potentially lays the grounds for systematic clampdown on opposition leaders.

“The ADC is not interested in truncating democracy, we are solely committed to saving the nation from the irredeemable incompetence of this government. We are not soldiers, we are politicians.

“We don’t have bullets; we only have the ballots. When the time comes, we will only present our solutions and an alternative vision of the future to the Nigerian people and leave them to make their choice.”[/b]

Hahahaha!

Who owns the votes and who owns the bullets?

APC is planning to overthrow Jonathan administration – PDP

Published on March 21, 2014
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Thursday accused the All Progressives Congress, APC, of planning to forcefully overthrow the government of President Goodluck Jonathan.

The party said it is alerting the nation that the ‘Plan B’ of the APC is to use insurgency to unleash unprecedented mayhem when it loses the 2015 general election and forcefully take over power.

The PDP, in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, said that it has evidence of meetings held outside the shores of the country in pursuit of the ignoble objective.

“The unfortunate comparison of a democratically-elected government with military governments in the past by the APC was a tacit acknowledgment that the opposition party was planning to take Nigeria back to dictatorship,” he said.

ADC get serious case for court which all it takes is a pronouncement by a Judge to render all this their excitement useless. The ADC is yet to have a foundation sef.

Blizzy9ja:
Serious nso mkpo? Your ignorance dey smell... Wetin concern floor members with the decision of the executives of the party... Supreme court says the court has no business with the internal decisions of a political party.

Tinubu should step aside with his incompetence

Mabuggi88:
Exactly, they should not rely on rigging like them. All their hope are beacomed on rigging. That's the only thing that their personal lord and savior knows

autoez:
Who's the candidate. All this talk will calm after their primaries coz they will divide again

Softmirror:
But hope you can all see that it is mere fantastic illusion about all the noise that Peter Obi won the last Election otherwise why are you all begging Atiku to surrender his constitutional right for Obi?

If Peter Obi is confident and it was true he won the last election and Nigerians wanted him badly as president then and still want him today but was rigged out, Peter Obi should contest on his own, on the platform of Labour Party.

After all when Joe Biden won, we saw the kind of reaction in the United States by his supporters who allegeded electoral misconducts. And because Trump was confident that he would win again to prove that he actually won Joe but was rigged in the America election for President, Donald Trump recontested and won fair and square.The American people who voted for him but were robbed of their votes, voted for him again.

I don't understand why almost everyone of you is begging Atiku to surrender his candidacy or to merge together when you claim Peter Obi was rigged out to 3rd position. It doesn't project your beliefs and claims that he won even above Atiku let alone Tinubu except empty noise about a choice of illusion. EMPTY NOISE DON'T WIN ELECTIONS!
