The African Democratic Congress has accused the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government of plotting to suppress legitimate opposition under the guise of national security, following recent claims by a presidential aide.
In a strongly worded statement on Wednesday, the party said it had no intention of undermining democracy but is solely focused on rescuing Nigeria from what it described as the irredeemable incompetence of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The party’s interim National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, expressed concern over the APC’s growing hostility toward dissenting voices, questioning the ruling party’s apparent discomfort with opposition politics.
However, his remarks followed a statement on X (formerly Twitter) by President Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, who alleged that certain political figures were banding together to overthrow an administration that has been the most focused, most transformative in our history.
