Presidency Critiques ADC for Congresses Amid INEC Derecognition
The Nigerian Presidency has reacted strongly to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) announcing dates for its congresses and national convention, scheduled for April 7th and 14th, 2026. This announcement comes despite the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) having derecognized the ADC's national leadership.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu's special adviser, Bayo Onanuga, expressed concern over the ADC's decision, indicating that it reflects a continued disregard for legal processes. Onanuga's comments were made in a response to the ADC's announcement, emphasizing the potential consequences of such actions.
The ADC's spokesman, Abdullahi, was involved in the communication regarding the congresses, which are expected to screen aspirants before the national convention. The presidency's response underscores the ongoing tensions between political parties and regulatory bodies in Nigeria's electoral landscape.
