ADC-PCC Denounces APC's Campaign Council as Anti-Democratic

The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council (ADC-PCC) condemned the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, labeling it a "rape of democracy." Kola Ologbondiyan, the Director of Media and Publicity for the ADC-PCC, made this statement on Wednesday in response to the APC's recent appointments, which included opposition figures such as FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, and Anambra Governor Charles Soludo. Ologbondiyan accused the APC of undermining Nigeria's multiparty democracy by allegedly coercing opposition governors into its campaign structure without formal defections.

He described the situation as "political abduction" and claimed that the use of state power to weaken rival parties threatens democratic competition. Ologbondiyan urged Nigerians to resist what he termed an "immoral political order," emphasizing the need for political leaders to prioritize the welfare of citizens over power retention amid economic hardship and insecurity.
