ADC Denies APC's Claims of Candidate Defections
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has officially rejected claims made by the All Progressives Congress (APC) regarding the defection of some ADC candidates from Jigawa, Plateau, Taraba, and Zamfara states to the ruling party. In a statement issued by Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC's National Publicity Secretary, the party clarified that the individuals presented by the APC as defectors do not hold any recognized positions within the ADC.
The ADC challenged the APC to provide evidence of the alleged defectors' previous roles within the party, including the constituencies they represented and the duration of their tenure. The ADC criticized the manner of the APC's announcement, stating that the ruling party should not misrepresent individuals as ADC candidates without substantiation.
Furthermore, the ADC dismissed the APC's claims that the alleged defectors were attracted by the administration's transformation of Northern Nigeria, citing rising food prices and insecurity as pressing issues for Nigerians. The ADC emphasized the need for verifiable records to support political claims.
