The Inter Party Advisory Council of Nigeria (IPAC) Kaduna State and the several political Party Chairmen that attended the just concluded ADC Democracy Summit #Kaduna 2024 have said they never discussed anything like bringing down any government either in Kaduna State or anywhere in Nigeria.
The IPAC Chairman in the State Hon Ahmed Tijani Mustapha, stated this in a statement made available to the media in Kaduna yesterday.
Hon Ahmed Tijani Mustapha, who was reacting to a media publication that Summit #Kaduna 2024 main objective is to wrestle power from the ruling party, said the assumption was the imagination of the reporter.
According to him, the Summit brought together eight opposition parties with the aim of bolstering opposition party structures and strategies ahead of the 2027 general election.
He added that the summit also discussed challenges faced by Nigerians and fostering informed decision-making ahead of the elections.
“While dispelling merger speculations, the summit also criticized the current administration for exacerbating national challenges rather than mitigating them.
“We also re-emphasize the necessity of mobilizing grassroots support and fostering political enlightenment among citizens.
“The importance of effective voter mobilization and the selection of credible candidates was given much emphasis during the summit. Financial resource constraints, lack of internal democracy, and interference by the ruling party as key challenges facing opposition groups were also discussed.“
