Chuks Okocha in Abuja

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has  said governors on the platform of opposition political parties defecting  to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), were doing so as a result of their vulnerabilities and not because of the interest of Nigerians.

National Publicity Secretary of the ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi, however, said on the other hand, that the major strength of the ADC was the fact that it was standing with Nigerians.

Abdullahi, stated these when he featured on a television  programme, saying the crisis in Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP), were engineered by the ruling APC.

While criticising the ruling APC for the hardship it has imposed on Nigerians, Abdullahi stressed that the ADC could not wait to takeover the leadership of the country in order to commence giving the country good governance beyond just taking over power.

Abdullahi said the ADC was the only available alternative for the opposition willing to wrestle power from the oppressive APC with a view to reposition the country.

He assured the people that the ADC was open to all comers, adding however that it was a party with rules which everyone was applying to join irrespective of status in the society must abide with.

The spokesperson of the ADC lamented that since 1999, the leadership bar in Nigeria has been declining progressively unchecked and assured the people that the ADC would prioritise strategy over zoning in determining the presidential candidate of the party.

Abdullahi applauded the moral fortitude of a former President of the Senate, David Mark, as the strength upon which the party’s ship has sailed strongly so far.
