ADC: Nigeria’s Democracy at Risk, Not Just an Opposition Battle — Abdullahi
The party’s spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, said recent political developments in the country point to a growing threat against multi-party democracy. He argued that the current situation requires urgent collective action from citizens and political actors to safeguard democratic values.
According to him, the ADC is positioning itself as a viable platform to preserve political plurality and prevent Nigeria from sliding into a one-party state. He stressed that democracy thrives on competition, choice, and active participation, all of which must be protected.
Abdullahi noted that the weakening of opposition parties and internal crises within major political groups have created concerns about the future of democratic governance. He maintained that the ADC is committed to providing Nigerians with a credible alternative and ensuring that democratic institutions remain strong.
He further emphasized that the party’s focus is not merely to challenge the ruling party but to defend the broader democratic space, insisting that Nigerians must resist any attempts to undermine opposition voices or limit political choices.
The statement reflects growing political tension ahead of the 2027 general elections, with opposition figures increasingly framing the contest as a struggle to preserve Nigeria’s democratic system rather than just a race for power.
