The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has raised concerns over what it describes as a plot by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to organise protests against its leadership under Senator David Mark.
National Publicity Secretary of the ADC, Malam Bolaji Abdullahi, alleged on his social media platforms that the APC had shifted tactics after failing to use the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to frustrate the party.

He claimed that the ruling party and its agents are now resorting to protests aimed at destabilising the opposition.
Bolaji Abdullahi stated:
“ADC remain focused on our duty to Nigerians, and we shall remain law-abiding. We will, however, resist by all lawful and necessary means. If they are not acting on his orders, President Tinubu should rein in his enforcers before it is too late.”

Protest strategy and INEC pressure
According to the ADC, the APC’s expectation is that a protest would breathe life into a case already “suffocating in the courts under the weight of its own illegality.”
The statement further noted:
“This, they hope, will create ‘public pressure’ on the INEC Chairman to magically upgrade and recognise an individual who resigned his position and was subsequently expelled from the ADC, to the position of National Chairman of a party he no longer belongs to.”
The ADC insists it will not be swayed by what it calls the antics of the APC. The party emphasised its commitment to remain law-abiding while resisting any attempts to undermine its stability through lawful means.
See the full statement below:
“Yesterday, we disclosed a sinister plot by agents of the ruling APC government to pressure INEC into taking illegal action to destabilise our party, following the milestone movement of H.E. Rabiu Kwankwaso to the ADC.
“After meeting a brick wall with INEC, they have now changed tactics, but the objectives remain the same. Information reaching us this morning is that a public protest is being planned for tomorrow, Thursday, 2nd April, in Abuja, sponsored by a particularly notorious minister. Their expectation is that a protest will give oxygen to a case that is already suffocating in the courts under the weight of its own illegality.
“The plan is simple: a paid crowd, posturing as aggrieved party members, will take to the streets demanding “David Mark Must Go.” This, they hope, will create “public pressure” on the INEC Chairman to magically upgrade and recognise an individual who resigned his position and was subsequently expelled from the ADC, to the position of National Chairman of a party he no longer belongs to. The plan by the ruling APC government to hijack the leadership of the ADC, the only viable opposition party left in the country, is real. If anything, it has assumed a new level of desperation in the past few days.
“They are not just afraid of our momentum. They are afraid of what happens when the Nigerian people start paying attention and begin to believe that change is possible. ADC remains focused on our duty to Nigerians, and we shall remain law-abiding. We will, however, resist by all lawful and necessary means. If they are not acting on his orders, President Tinubu should rein in his enforcers before it is too late.”
