The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that the allegation of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) against it and President Bola Tinubu was a preemptive excuse for its evident ill-fated future of disintegration.
TheHintsNews reports that the ADC on Monday alleged a plot by the Tinubu administration and the APC to undermine and destabilise the party.
Citing “credible intelligence”, the party claimed that state chairmen in the North East and North West zones of the country were summoned to a “secret meeting with officials of the federal government”, in a plot to intimidate and coerce the opposition coalition.
However, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Felix Morka in a statement issued Tuesday said ADC was unsurprisingly trudging the beaten path of lies and deception like its opposition counterparts, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP).
He noted that there was no reason for Tinubu or the ruling party to expend valuable time and energy trying to sow confusion within the ADC that was already mortally wounded by confusion delivered by its invaders.
The spokesperson stressed that as an agglomeration of politicians desperate for presidential power, the ADC has nothing to offer Nigerians.
Morka noted: “Beyond the rash of poorly imagined accusations, the statement did not offer substantiation of any kind. Its vague reference to “officials of federal government” only belies the mischievous intent of its makers to whip up sentiments, manipulate public opinion, and distract Nigerians from the patent hopelessness of their political phishing expedition.
“Otherwise, why is it so impossible for ADC to provide Nigerians the details of the alleged “secret meeting” at which its senior party officers were “coerced and intimidated”. Rather, the party cites nonsensical “credible intelligence” as basis for its devious allegations.
“Clearly, there was no such meeting, and certainly, no one could have been coerced or intimidated at a meeting that never was. This could have happened only in the warped imagination of masters of deception and marauding invaders of the ADC.
“There is no reason for Mr. President or APC to expend valuable time and energy trying to sow confusion within ADC that is already mortally wounded by confusion delivered by its invaders.
“The ADC needs no help from our great party to unravel as it must from its own internal dissonance, contradictions and discord of self-serving and vainglorious personalities that executed a gestapo-like takeover of the party to the chagrin of bonafide leaders and members of the party.
“The ADC’s statement is just a calculated preemptive excuse for its evident ill-fated future of disintegration, like Humpty Dumpty whose great fall could not be put back together again.”
Morka added that the party has placed on public display the incompetence and inability of its leadership to manage its impending internal crisis, in the same way they proved incapable of managing the internal affairs of opposition parties they have plundered serially before the ADC.
