ADC coalition of political pretenders — Lagos APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, has described the opposition coalition party, the African Democratic Congress (ADC), as a still-born coalition.

According to the APC, the ADC is a coalition of political pretenders that are seeking relevance in Nigeria’s democratic space.

Spokesman of the Lagos APC, Mogaji Seye Oladejo stated this in a statement released on Friday.

He urged Nigerians to remain discerning and to reject hollow coalitions built on ambition rather than substance.

It read in part, “We categorically state that ADC is a still-born coalition — a political contraption without structure, credibility, or grassroots connection. Its self-acclaimed repositioning is nothing more than recycled rhetoric from political journeymen with no clear agenda, no ideological identity, and certainly no electoral value.

“The ADC, over the years, has failed to define its place in Nigeria’s political evolution. It remains a haven for disgruntled politicians who see coalition-building as a shortcut to power, rather than through genuine engagement with the Nigerian people. Their latest attempt to masquerade as an alternative platform is a transparent act of desperation.

“At a time when Nigeria is on the path of tough but necessary reforms under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, real patriots are expected to rise above partisan noise and contribute constructively. Instead, what we see from the ADC is a disoriented chorus of baseless criticism, driven by envy and a lack of vision.

“Let it be known that the APC, especially here in Lagos — the cradle of progressive politics — is not distracted. We remain focused on delivering good governance, consolidating national reforms, and supporting the renewed hope agenda of our President. No amount of political gimmickry by fringe parties can derail our course.

“It is interesting to note that major players in the so-called coalition still maintain their membership of their supposed former parties which is a clear case of political bigamy and a deliberate attempt to play on the intelligence of the Nigerian public. Political morality ought to be of higher standard.

“The APC government at various levels will not be distracted by political rabble-rousers whose alliance has a short lifespan. We’re irrevocably committed to delivering on our social contract.

“The Lagos APC urges Nigerians to remain discerning and to reject hollow coalitions built on ambition rather than substance. The future of this country lies in tested leadership, credible policies, and a united national direction — none of which the ADC offers.”
