The All Progressives Congress (APC) has launched a scathing attack on the African Democratic Congress (ADC), accusing the opposition party of being responsible for its own internal crisis and political misfortunes.
In a press statement issued on April 2, 2026,
APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, described the ADC as “an assembly of confused and desperate politicians,” alleging that the party has resorted to peddling conspiracy theories against the ruling party.
Morka argued that the ADC’s current challenges were self-inflicted, tracing its troubles to what he called the unlawful takeover of the party’s leadership by a faction allegedly led by former Senate President David Mark and ex-Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola.
According to him, the faction’s emergence violated the party’s constitutional provisions and disregarded due process, thereby setting off the crisis currently rocking the ADC.
He further defended the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to de-recognise the factional leadership, noting that the move was in line with a valid court judgment and consistent with democratic principles.
“The ADC is the author of its own fate,” Morka stated, adding that it was “irresponsible” for the party to blame the APC for problems arising from its internal mismanagement.
The APC spokesman maintained that the ADC’s inability to resolve its internal disputes and adhere to due process renders it unfit to govern, stressing that “a party that cannot fix itself cannot fix Nigeria.”
He also accused the ADC of lacking clear policy direction, claiming that its primary focus has been to attack the ruling party rather than offer viable alternatives to Nigerians.
Morka, however, reiterated the APC’s commitment to governance under President Bola Tinubu, assuring Nigerians that the administration remains focused on delivering the Renewed Hope Agenda and strengthening democratic institutions.
The statement comes amid ongoing tensions within the ADC over leadership disputes and growing political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
