The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has condemned the burning of its Ekiti State office in Ado-Ekiti, describing it as a calculated act of political intimidation aimed at silencing the opposition.

In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party said the attack occurred just hours before its planned “Reconfiguration and Affirmation Ceremony.”

Abdullahi said the incident was a deliberate attempt to terrorize the opposition ahead of the state’s governorship election. He called the attack “criminal and undemocratic,” saying it was a disgrace to anyone who claims to believe in democracy and political freedom.


The party said this was not an isolated case, noting that its offices and members had faced similar attacks in Kaduna, Lagos, Kebbi, Kogi, and Edo States since the Opposition Coalition declared ADC its preferred platform in July.

Abdullahi said such repeated incidents formed “a dangerous pattern” that should worry everyone.

He also criticized the authorities for their silence, saying any government that ignores attacks on opposition parties is inviting chaos.

Abdullahi said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was behind the attacks because it feared the growing influence of the ADC.

He explained that the party’s popularity was rising among Nigerians who were tired of the failures of the current administration.

According to him, the fire in Ekiti only proved that the APC was worried about ADC’s growing support.

“The fire in Ekiti is further confirmation that the APC is afraid of the rising wave of the ADC.”

The ADC called on security agencies to investigate the incident and ensure those responsible are punished. It also urged INEC, civil society groups, and international observers to pay close attention to the situation.

Despite the attack, Abdullahi said the party’s planned event in Ekiti would still go on.


He added that even if they had to hold it outdoors, the ceremony would proceed, stressing that violence would not stop the ADC from moving forward.

ADC na political party?

Lol!

Day of reckoning is coming for you all

Exousiang01:
ADC is inconsequential in Ekiti politics.
Nobody needs to intimidate you to win elections.
You guys are feeling too important.
Even El-Rufai and Atiku the so-called political heavy weights that moved to your party are not confident enough to pick up party membership cards

Bolaji Abdullahi, no one is jittery of ADC.

So far, ADC has not won any seats on off cycle elections. Even Atiku has not officially decamped. He even complained that detractors leaked his PDP resignation letter. Why hide his resignation?

El Rufai too has not decamped. Even after the last meeting where the national executive instructed those hobnobbing with them to decamp, no one heeded the call. Mrs Ireti Kingibe who announced her decamping on social media has failed to announce same on the floor of the senate.

ADC is obviously an experiment. Those promoting it are unsure.If they could not organize in Labour Party and PDP, how can they organize in ADC?

ADC cannot win the 2027 elections. Currently, the party is not organized to be competitive. Their spokesman is also shallow on policy but loud on conspiracies.

This is what the democracy now looks like under the "fighters for democracy". What is coming in 2027 is inevitable.

My dad, victim of complex conspiracy – Kola Abiola

What role did Bola Tinubu play in all of these?

At the very beginning, he was part of the Yar’Adua PF group from Jos. He was a senator then, and as far as the group went, we related. The crisis started post-election. When Abacha came, one of the things he wanted to do was to be the administrator for Lagos.

That is Tinubu?

Yes. I am sure you have seen pictures of him and my dad. He was hoping that there would be civilian administrators like we had under IBB but Abacha said no, that he was going to have military administrators. So he (Tinubu) said okay, in that case, can I be a deputy administrator? But Abacha said that there wouldn’t be deputies. Then he wanted the post of a commissioner.

He wanted to be a commissioner?

Yes. Then it was a choice between him and someone very close to Jakande who has passed on now. I can’t remember his name, but because Babagana was already in the government, that guy was picked as commissioner. But really, Senator Tinubu had lost out already.

Was Tinubu very close to MKO?

Yes, he was close enough. He and Adeniyi Adele, a very good guy, were close to my father. In fact, Adeniyi was closer to my father and more dedicated to the process than anyone of them. When my documentary comes out, you will see Tinubu’s take on issues. So once he lost out, automatically, he became a NADECO member and Adeniyi was incarcerated.

As long as they keep acting with impunity and taunting the masses, surely.

One of them is up there asking if ADC is a party, without condemning the heinous act as a human being first.

“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events.

He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics.

The slowpoke doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”
