APC blames ADC for internal crisis, rejects conspiracy claims

APC has blamed the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for its ongoing internal crisis, rejecting claims that the ruling party is undermining the opposition. In a press statement on April 2, 2026, APC National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka described ADC as 'an assembly of Nigeria's most confused and desperate politicians' and accused it of spreading 'rabid conspiracy theories' about APC's actions. Morka criticized ADC's structure, calling it 'a kamikaze contraption' that is 'unravelling fast.' He specifically targeted a faction led by former Senate President David Mark and former Osun Governor Rauf Aregbesola, saying they 'hijacked the party in violent violation of its constitutional stipulations.' The statement defends INEC's decision to withdraw recognition from this factional leadership, stating it followed due legal process. The APC asserts that ADC's inability to resolve its internal disputes raises questions about its capacity to govern, while emphasizing President Bola Tinubu's focus on the Renewed Hope Agenda. This public spat highlights the fragility of opposition parties as the 2027 election cycle approaches. With ADC in disarray, the opposition's ability to present a credible challenge remains uncertain. For voters, this underscores the importance of party stability and internal governance. Does ADC's implosion weaken Nigeria's democratic competition, or will it force opposition consolidation?
