The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has alleged a “desperate and dangerous plot” by President Bola Tinubu’s administration to destabilise and hijack the opposition coalition.
In a statement on Monday, ADC spokesperson Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi claimed that former state chairmen and key party executives in the North East and North West were summoned to a secret meeting with federal officials.
“We have credible intelligence that the aim of this meeting is not for national security or peacebuilding. It is to intimidate, coerce, and if possible, co-opt these individuals into a fabricated scheme against the opposition coalition. This is not politics. This is sabotage,” Abdullahi stated.
He described the move as an attempt to undermine the ADC’s leadership and momentum, calling it “a coordinated assault on multiparty democracy.”
“We call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to take note of these sinister moves… He needs to remind his men that… he would not have been a President today,” the statement added.
