Timi Frank Warns Deregistration of ADC Threatens Democracy

Timi Frank, a former spokesman for the All Progressives Congress (APC), has raised alarms regarding reports that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) may be deregistered. He warns that such actions could undermine Nigeria's democratic foundations and trigger a national crisis.

Frank's statement, made on Tuesday, describes the situation as a direct threat to multi-party democracy, suggesting that a recent court ruling is part of a broader effort to weaken opposition forces ahead of the 2027 general elections. He calls for urgent intervention from U.S.

President Donald Trump and the international community to preserve Nigeria's multi-party democracy. Frank expressed skepticism about the circumstances surrounding the court's judgment, which he claims was delivered without prior notice to the parties involved.

He alleges that the current administration, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is attempting to consolidate power by deregistering major opposition parties, including the ADC, which could lead to significant political instability.
