ADC Accuses INEC of Government Pressure in Leadership Changes

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) publicly condemned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for its recent decision to remove David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola from their positions as party leaders. The ADC alleged that INEC acted under pressure from the federal government, suggesting that this move was an attempt to undermine opposition parties amid growing political momentum against the ruling party.

The ADC characterized INEC's actions as contradictory and inconsistent, calling for a public clarification on the issue. They warned that such actions could have adverse effects on the governance of Nigeria and indicated that they are currently reviewing their options, with plans to announce their next steps soon.

The ADC urged its members and the public to remain steadfast as events unfold, emphasizing the importance of transparency and integrity in the electoral process.
