ADC Explains Coalition’s Goal: To Stop Nigeria from Turning into a One-Party Nation

According to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), its members banded together to prevent President Bola Tinubu from establishing a one-party state in Nigeria.

Speaking to Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC spokesperson emphasized that the party wishes to save Nigeria from contemporary civilian tyranny and pointed out that without the alliance, Nigeria’s democracy would have been in danger.

“We’ve been worrying about this since day one,” he stated. that the goal of the Tinubu administration is to make Nigeria a one-party state. This is the reason we first got together. It’s the government’s propensity to turn Nigeria into a one-party state. What do you believe would have happened to Nigeria’s democracy today if it weren’t for the coalition?

“The PDP, or People’s Democratic Party, is essentially extinct. The Labour Party is no longer stable. The ADC is currently the only opposition party that can be referred to as such in Nigeria. However, this supports our claims that the coalition is here to save Nigeria from this contemporary civilian dictatorship and its propensity to become a one-party state. Thus, I would have been justified. The decamping of the governors to the ruling party is a component of that greater goal. Nigeria now has an option, though.

“Nigeria will have to make the decision of whether or not to retain this government. And we are able to offer that substitute. And ADC exists for this reason. Therefore, it makes little difference if the ruling party or the governors are members of the same gang. Thus, we’re not at all concerned. Naturally, as you correctly pointed out, we are worried.

“We are worried that, for the first time, we are witnessing something that we never thought could occur in this nation. But remember, did the PDP act differently or in a different manner when it was at its strongest? Did we not witness a scenario in which nearly all members of the political elite were joining the PDP? Have we forgotten that approximately 20 years ago, the PDP’s national chairman declared that the party would rule for 60 years because they controlled nearly every state? Now, where is PDP? You’ll witness what happens to APC if they haven’t learned from their past.
