ADC Criticizes FG for Security Deployment at INEC HQ

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has publicly criticized the Federal Government's decision to deploy heavy security, including armored vehicles, at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) headquarters in Abuja. Abdullahi, speaking from the party's national public secretariat, questioned the appropriateness of such a security focus, especially given the severe security challenges faced by communities across Nigeria.

This criticism comes in the wake of heightened political tensions following INEC's decision to derecognize the ADC leadership, which is linked to Senator David Mark and former Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola. The ADC's response includes plans to hold a national congress despite INEC's stance on the leadership dispute.

Abdullahi emphasized that the party is complying with procedural requirements ahead of its activities, indicating a commitment to continue its political agenda despite the challenges.
