The All Progressives Congress (APC) has criticised the African Democratic Congress (ADC), blaming the opposition party for its internal crisis and accusing it of spreading conspiracy theories.
In a statement issued on April 2, 2026, APC National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka said the ADC had failed to properly manage its internal affairs and should take responsibility for its challenges.
“Quite apart from being an assembly of Nigeria’s most confused and desperate politicians, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has distinguished itself as a peddler of rabid conspiracy theories about what the All Progressives Congress (APC) is or is not doing to undermine the party,” Morka said.
He further criticised the party’s structure, describing it as fundamentally flawed.
“The ADC is a party that never was. By design, it was a kamikaze contraption with a ‘follow-come’ self-destructive detonator. It had to unravel and is now unravelling fast by instalment,” he added.
Morka also addressed the leadership dispute within the ADC, accusing a faction led by David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola of violating the party’s constitutional processes.
“When it’s factional leadership under the duo of David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola parachuted into the party like thoughtless, planless commandos and hijacked the party in violent violation of its constitutional stipulations regarding leadership succession and in disregard of the rule of law, the ADC set its own date with destiny,” he said.
The APC spokesperson also defended the actions of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), stating that the decision to withdraw recognition from the faction followed due legal process.
He insisted that the ADC was wrong to blame the APC for its internal issues, adding that the party’s inability to resolve its crisis raises concerns about its readiness to govern.
Morka concluded by reaffirming that the APC and the administration of Bola Tinubu remain focused on governance and strengthening democratic institutions.
