The African Democratic Congress, ADC, had declared that the party is not distracted by recent events, insisting that it is focused on the mission to rescue Nigeria from the bad governance of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, in a statement asserted that the ADC wished to state, clearly and unequivocally, that "we remain focused on our mission to rescue Nigeria from the failure of the APC-led government and to prevent the dangerous slide toward a one-party state".

Abdullahi stated that the party has taken note of recent suggestions that the ADC will not produce candidates in the 2027 elections. He noted that they found such claims to be entirely unfounded, mischievous, and designed to create confusion where none exists.

"They have no basis in law, in fact, or in the reality of our preparations as a political party.

"Let us be clear. The ADC will present candidates in the 2027 general elections. Not just candidates, but credible, competent, and nationally acceptable candidates who are capable of leading this country out of its current crisis.

"We remain a law-abiding political party, fully compliant with the Constitution and the Electoral Act.

"There is no legal impediment to our participation in the 2027 elections, and any suggestion to the contrary is a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and dampen the growing momentum around our party," Abdullahi declared.
