The African Democratic Congress ( ADC) Presidential Campaign Council ( PCC) has challenged the All Progressives Congress (APC) led Federal Government to allow a free and fair contest in the 2027 general election, if they are confident about the poll.
The Director-General of the ADC -PCC, Senator Austin Akobundu, accused the ruling party of allegedly resorted to backdoor process to get the opposition party out of the 2027 polls.
Akobundu, who stated that the APC must stop trying to constrict the political space, noted that Nigerians must be free to hear competing ideas and chose leaders of their choice without intimidation.
According to him, “if the Federal Government and the APC believe they have the capacity to win, let them allow a free and fair election. Let Nigerians choose without intimidation, obstruction or interference. They must stop trying to muzzle the political space and using a backdoor court process to remove us from the contest.
“Nigerians must be free to hear competing ideas, attend political events and choose their leaders without intimidation or interference. The ballot must remain the people’s choice, and every party must be allowed to campaign freely.
“We call on our party supporters to remain calm and resolute. Let us continue to campaign peacefully and confidently, knowing that the people’s will must prevail.
“The ADC will continue to engage Nigerians across the country with its message of affordable living, opportunity and national renewal. We are grateful to everyone who welcomed our candidates in Sokoto and Kebbi, and we look forward to meeting more Nigerians as the campaign continues.”
Akobundu expressed profound gratitude to ADC supporters and Nigerians who turned out in overwhelming numbers to give the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and his running mate, Rotimi Amaechi, a heroic welcome in Sokoto and Kebbi States, respectively.
He said “The scale of the welcome was a powerful expression of the people’s enthusiasm for the ADC campaign and their determination to have a voice in the country’s future.”
