He added that up till Tuesday evening, April 28, 2026, some serving Senators in the ruling APC and other parties were still talking to ADC leadership to join the party.
“Despite the challenges the government in place is deliberately throwing at us, yesterday, some senators decided they are joining the ADC.
"All I know is that Tinubu and Amupitan cannot conduct any election in this country if ADC is not on the ballot."
The ADC founding father stated this on Wednesday in Abuja during the ADC Youths Champion and Prospective Legislative Summit, organised by the office of the National Youth Leader.
This was contained in a statement issued and made available to Legit.ng on Wednesday, April 29, 2026.

“The time is over for Tinubu politically, and he must go. The time is over for Akpabio (Senate President), and they must go.
"The statistics are already there in our portal. I think we're already recording over 5 million people who are desirous to pay money and to become members of ADC. By the time the registration closes down, if it has not closed down by today, we will have a minimum of 11 million people who are ready to contribute money.
He urged ADC members to remain committed and steadfast, saying the opposition party has already allocated 50% to young people and women in its constitution.
