The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed reports alleging that it is in talks with the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) ahead of a pending court judgment.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, made the denial in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja, describing the claims as false.
Abdullahi stated that the coalition leadership was not engaged in any discussions or negotiations with any political party at the moment.
He emphasised that the ADC remained focused on challenging what it described as illegal actions taken against its leadership by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other groups.
According to him, the party is committed to ensuring that the alleged actions are overturned by the court.
“We believe that this is the only path to safeguarding the rule of law and ensuring that multiparty democracy survives in Nigeria,” he said.
The spokesperson added that while the ADC remained open to opposition alliances, it would not abandon its responsibilities or deviate from its commitment to democratic restoration.
“Therefore, any suggestion that we are considering abandoning the ADC is preemptive and speculative, and should be ignored,” Abdullahi said.
He also expressed confidence in the judiciary and urged the courts to resist any pressure that could undermine Nigeria’s democracy.
