The African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Saturday alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is attempting to frustrate its planned opposition summit in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, made the allegation in a post on X, stating that the party had uncovered plans to disrupt the gathering scheduled for April 25.
“We have uncovered plans by the ruling APC to disrupt the summit being held by the opposition parties in Ibadan,” Abdullahi said.
He added that the party would not back down, accusing the ruling party of repeatedly creating obstacles for opposition activities.
He noted that previous attempts to hold meetings in Abuja were also affected.
“After denying us the use of venues in Abuja, they now will not leave us alone to hold our meetings,” he said.
“They say they are not scared, but they are behaving like people who are terrified.”
Despite the alleged pressure, Abdullahi maintained that the opposition would proceed with its plans.
“We will not be deterred, because we are on the side of the Nigerian people,” he added.
He also recalled that during a previous ADC convention in Abuja, similar concerns were raised over what he described as a last-minute attempt to halt the event.
