The All Progressives Congress has described the African Democratic Congress, the newly adopted platform for the 2027 opposition coalition, as a gathering of deceivers and self-centred individuals driven by personal grudges.
In a statement on Thursday, APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, said Nigerians are wise and discerning enough not to fall for what he called the coalition’s misguided agenda.
Despite some notable achievements, President BolaTinubu’s administration has faced significant challenges across various sectors.
Opposition leaders have continued to criticise the APC-led government, branding it a failure and calling for a change in leadership.
As part of efforts to strengthen their chances in the 2027 elections, key opposition figures met in Abuja on March 20 to form a new coalition.
Following extensive consultations, leaders such as Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, Nasir El-Rufai, and Rotimi Amaechi officially adopted the African Democratic Congress as the coalition’s political platform during a gathering in Abuja on Wednesday.
In response, Morka stated that both the APC and Tinubu remain calm and committed, determined to use every available resource to build a stronger, lasting, and more prosperous nation for current and future generations of Nigerians.
The statement read, “The vaunted opposition coalition platform of choice, the African Democratic Congress (was unveiled yesterday, Wednesday, July 2, 2025 with a gasping whimper, not the roar that its promoters loudly touted.
“However, in reality, it was an unveiling of a coalition of hoaxers and self-obsessed merchants of vendetta, a roll call of Nigeria’s me-or-nothing politicians, who equate their selfish interest with the interest of Nigerians, who cannot bear to be out of the corridors of power and patronage, who are desperate to grab power for themselves by guile and subterfuge, who lay claim to an immoral birthright to power, even while draped in odious record of betrayal of public trust, and rapacious public service.
“Not surprisingly, the speech delivered by Senator David Mark, the alleged National Chairman of ADC, was disgracefully vacant, without substance or purpose, nothing but stitches of untruths, diatribe, and regurgitated and baseless allegations against the APC-led administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
