The ADC warned that the APC should guide against utterances that could further suggest that people\u2019s votes would not count.<\/p>\n<p>The full statement read: The APC Chairman\u2019s recent declaration of \u201cno vacancy in Aso Rock\u201d is presumptuous and disrespectful of Nigerian people, who are tired of hunger, insecurity, joblessness, and unfulfilled promises, and therefore cannot wait to reclaim their future at the ballot box.<\/p>\n<p>We understand why APC is afraid, and would wish that they could somehow avoid that day of reckoning with the ballot box. The very fact of periodic elections means that every incumbent must renew its mandate. Therefore, regardless of what APC thinks, there will be vacancy at the Presidential Villa in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>President Tinubu must re-apply to the Nigerian people, and he must show Nigerians why they should allow him to continue on the job, despite his ruinous policies that have made life miserable for the majority. In 2027, APC and President Tinubu will be evaluated based on Key Performance Indicators (KPI) of youth employment, security of lives, hunger and poverty, electricity supply, and justice to all. And no amount of propaganda can change their report cards in the eyes of Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>While the APC government and its media operatives continue to clap for themselves, and awarding themselves medals of excellence, the price of food has continued to rise beyond the reach of majority of Nigerians, ever increasing number of our communities are being taken over by bandits, and our Naira remains battered and broken.<\/p>\n<p>This is why, to declare \u201cno vacancy\u201d two years before an election, is to spit in the face of every Nigerian who still believes in their democratic power. It is to say: your vote does not matter.<\/p>\n<p>It is to mock the pain of the mothers and fathers who cannot afford food, the graduate who cannot find a job, and the entrepreneurs whose businesses have collapsed due to no fault of theirs. Let it be known, the APC will have to reapply for the job of leading this country in 2027, and they do not get to mark their own papers.<\/p>\n<p>Signed, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, National Publicity Secretary, African Democratic Congress (ADC)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>ADC,APC,Bola Tinubu,Tinubu<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.channelstv.com\/2025\/07\/30\/2027-presidency-not-hereditary-tinubu-must-reapply-adc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presidency Not Hereditary, Tinubu Must Reapply \u2014 ADC \u2022 Channels Television \u00a0 The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has faulted a comment by the All Progressives Congress (APC) that there is \u201cno vacancy\u201d for the presidential seat.\u00a0 The APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, had recently told party members that there was \u201cno vacancy in Aso Rock\u201d [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":233444,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[173],"tags":[231,287,187,179],"class_list":["post-233442","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-adc","tag-apc","tag-bola-tinubu","tag-tinubu"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/abiaradiostations.com.ng\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233442","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/abiaradiostations.com.ng\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/abiaradiostations.com.ng\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abiaradiostations.com.ng\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abiaradiostations.com.ng\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233442"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/abiaradiostations.com.ng\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233442\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/abiaradiostations.com.ng\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abiaradiostations.com.ng\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=233442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abiaradiostations.com.ng\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=233442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
