ADC Denies Talks With PRP, Insists Coalition Remains Intact by Omooba77(op): 2:48pm On Apr 20

The African Democratic Congress has denied reports suggesting it is in talks with another political party, specifically the Peoples Redemption Party, ahead of an expected court judgment concerning its leadership dispute.

In a statement addressing the claim, the party spokesman, Bolaji Abdullah, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.

This he also shared on X, and there he said: “Our attention has been drawn to a story in circulation that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is in talks with another political party, specifically the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), in anticipation of its court judgment.”

It described the report as false, stating: “We would like to state categorically that this is not true.”

The ADC leadership further clarified its position on coalition discussions.

It said: “The coalition leadership is not having any such conversation with any political party at the moment.”

Reaffirming its current focus, the party stated: “We are fully committed to ensuring that the illegal action taken against our leadership by INEC and other agents of the ruling party is upturned.

“We believe that this is the only path to safeguarding the rule of law and ensuring that multiparty democracy survives in Nigeria.”

While acknowledging openness to broader political collaboration, the statement added: “While we are open to expanding the coalition to bring all opposition elements in the country together to rescue our country, we remain clear about the responsibility that this moment has imposed on us. We will not abdicate that responsibility.”

It also dismissed claims of a possible defection or abandonment of the party.

Abdullah stated: “Therefore, any suggestion that we are considering abandoning the ADC is preemptive and speculative, and should be ignored.”

On the ongoing legal and political situation, the party said: “Notwithstanding the flagrant bastardisation of democratic institutions, the ADC leadership remains confident that the judicial institutions will, at this defining moment, resist the pressure to be complicit in undermining Nigeria’s democracy.”

The ADC recently emerged as a coalition platform for opposition parties and political actors seeking to unify efforts ahead of the 2027 elections, amid ongoing internal leadership disputes and legal challenges over its control and recognition by electoral authorities.

The denial was cleverly coated.

The report was that some of the people in ADC, might be from the new KO faction, were looking to decamp, not the party being in talks to link up to PRP.

By the way oga Bolaji, which ADC faction are you denying anything on behalf of?

Who cares? If ADC win they will scatter and if they lose they will scatter too. This is the principle of joint venture.

“It said: “The coalition leadership is not having any such conversation with any political party at the moment.”

So there’s a possibility to have the talks if the courts rule in favour of the Gombe man and his group.

Just keep on causing confusion.

APC brought propaganda and ADC refuted it instantly.

Good One ADC...

Employ your own Data boys and NIGERIANs will support you. Atleast from ADC work wont be difficult. Tinubus failed Governance has done the JOB, just amplify his failures.

The coven of propagandists, bigots and failures in Governance must be ejected.

A political party is not a cult. Anyone is free to join or decamp at anytime they wish. It was Tinubu who criminalised defection after primaries in the Electoral Act in order to forestall the inevitable implosion of APC.

Why would people join a political party that doesn't align with their views?

Your Atiku changes Party anyhow, he has even gone back to one he left before. This is wrong, every politician should have their political leaning and find a party that has like minds to join.

Not go round jumping from one to the other monkeys on trees in the jungle.

It is wrong and exposes the propensity to loot in government rather than serve the people.

Let me tell you:
If they win there will be power struggle. If Atiku wins he will take all. Others will get annoyed and leave.

If Obi wins he will be sandwiched between northerners. Atiku owns the party. He must do their bidding. If he refuses they will scatter the party.

If they lose it will be to your tent oh Israel because there is no party abinitio. APC will still control the national Assembly and number of states.

How will they be successful running the federal government? All their focus is on Tinubu. They are not considering these implications if they win. ADC is not a party jor.

Is that why your tin-god is paying governors to decamp to his party? Is that the political ideology of his party?

"I know of States that have received over 500 billion Naira from the Federal Government as palliative, but I have never received anything.

I think the reason I don't get it is because I'm not in APC.
