The spokesman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Bolaji Abdullahi, has accused the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) for factionalizing the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP).
In a post via his X handle, Abdullahi, the PRP crisis began when its national chairman, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, paid a courtesy visit to the ADC leadership.
“About three weeks ago, the leadership of the PRP, led by its National Chairman, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, paid a courtesy visit to the National Chairman of the ADC. A few days later, rumours began to circulate that the coalition leadership was considering the PRP as an option.
“Although this is not true, it took only that single whiff of speculation for a faction to emerge almost overnight in what had been a historically tranquil political party, challenging the leadership of Baba-Ahmed,” Abdullahi wrote.
Abdullahi accused the APC of building a political strategy to sabotage every opposition platform for destruction.
“This is the reality of Nigeria’s shrinking democratic space under the All Progressives Congress. The government may continue to deny any involvement in the crises within other parties, insisting that these are merely internal failures, but the pattern is visible. The world can see what is happening. More importantly, they can see where this path leads,” Abdullahi added.
