National Publicity Secretary of African Democratic Congress (ADC), Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, has said that, the party will not collapse into any of the existing political parties, formed before it, for election victory.
Abdullahi, a former Minister of Youths and Sports stated this in Ilorin yesterday during the hosting of members and leaders of the ADC in Kwara State to mark the celebration of the just concluded Eid-el-Kabir celebration in the state.
Abdullahi, however, said that the ADC would welcome alliance with any of the parties based on political ideology.
Abdullahi who is also a former Commissioner for Education in the state said that the party parades credible candidates out of its primaries in the state House of Assembly, House of Representatives, Senate and governorship, adding that members of the party in the state are increasing on daily basis.
He also said that the party would embrace members from other parties willing to join the opposition party, adding that “our door is wide open”.
The ADC spokesperson urged electorate to rally round the party in the 2027 general elections to ensure rescue of the country from the prevalent insecurity and economic crunch in the country.
Abdulkahi, who said that the ADC is capable of solving challenges of insecurity in the country, added that the ruling APC has caused untold hardship among Nigerians due to its economic policies.
“Reported cases of kidnapping, banditry and killing have taken a serious toll on people in various states of the country and this had brought a lot of serious concern. This must stop and ADC is capable of causing the necessary change to move Nigeria forward.”
While calling on members of the party to brace up for the tasks ahead, he also urged Nigerians to mobilise people to ensure electoral victory of the ADC come 2027 polls.
The party’s spokesperson, who assured that ADC will form government in Kwara and Nigeria come 2027, said that, “We have qualified and experienced candidates. We don’t have candidates that have been to EFCC before.”
He, however, called for support of the nation’s electorate, saying that the tasks at hand are not only for candidates, adding that change in leadership that will cause good governance cannot occur without support of the people.
