The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has stated that the party remains accessible to all Nigerians.<\/p>\n
The party\u2019s spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, stated this during an appearance on Channels, Politics Today.<\/p>\n
He asserted that the party is self-governing, insisting it is not controlled by any single person.<\/p>\n
Abdullahi dismissed claims that the ADC is being groomed to advance the presidential ambition of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar.<\/p>\n
He maintained that no individual can claim ownership of the party.<\/p>\n
According to him, such claims are unfounded and largely driven by individuals who lack a proper understanding of the party\u2019s internal structure.<\/p>\n
He explained that ADC members are fully aware that the party operates on the principle of collective ownership, which allows it to welcome influential politicians from diverse backgrounds.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose of us within the ADC know that the party does not belong to any one person. That is why someone like Peter Obi can join, and why Rotimi Amaechi is already a member<\/em>,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He further alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, is behind the growing speculation, accusing it of attempting to interfere in the ADC\u2019s internal affairs.<\/p>\n The ADC spokesperson also assured that the party\u2019s presidential candidate would be chosen through due process, stressing that the outcome is not prearranged.<\/p>\n \u201cWhoever eventually becomes our presidential candidate, whether Atiku or any other aspirant, will emerge through a transparent and credible process,\u201d<\/em> Abdullahi stated, reaffirming that the ADC is not the personal platform of any individual.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has stated that the party remains accessible to all Nigerians.
