Ahead of the 2027 general elections, Senate President Godswill Akpabio has pronounced the African Democratic Congress, ADC, dead. This comes as the ADC continues to face internal wranglings and legal challenges, leading to the defection of two of the major politicians within its fold.
NewsBits reports that the development has also led to mass exodus of National Assembly members from the once vibrant opposition party. Speaking on Tuesday at the plenary as he announced the defection letter of the senator representing Abia South senatorial district, Enyinnaya Abaribe, the Senate President Akpabio said, “I think ADC is dead.
“How many times are you defecting? A month? Three times? But let us compile all the lists so it doesn’t look like a daily ritual. Compile the names of those defecting from all the political parties and their party destinations.
“If you are moving from ADC, you write all of you. If you are entering NDC, you write all of you. If you are going to Accord, you write as well.” Our correspondent reports that while the ADC is losing membership, the ranks of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, is swelling.”
