APC’s Defection Claim, False, Imaginary – ADC
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has said the claim by the All Progressives Congress (APC), that it received ADC House of Assembly candidates from Jigawa, Plateau, Taraba and Zamfara States, is false and imaginary.
ADC in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, said the individuals being paraded were not ADC members but visitors to the APC secretariat.
The party challenged the APC to mention the names and offices these individuals supposedly held, the constituencies they aspired to represent as ADC candidates, and when they held those positions.
ADC also mocked the claim that the supposed defectors were attracted by the administration’s “remarkable transformation” of Northern Nigeria.
According to the statement, “Having invented ADC credentials for its guests, the APC has supplied an equally imaginative account of its performance over the past few years.”
It challenged the APC to explain how these fake photo-ops bring down food prices, protect Nigeria’s communities or help struggling families pay their bills.
“Nigerians are asking for evidence of better lives; the APC is manufacturing photographs and congratulating itself,” ADC stated.
