The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has sparked political tension with a bold accusation that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is secretly plotting to infiltrate and hijack the opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a fiery statement issued on Monday, the party warned Nigerians and fellow opposition members to “remain vigilant and resist any attempt by the ruling party to undermine democratic unity through manipulation and backdoor deals.”
ADC’s National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Bamidele Ajadi, alleged that operatives loyal to President Tinubu have been making covert moves to sow discord among opposition parties and lure key figures into a pro-government alliance disguised as a unification effort.
“This is not just a political maneuver; it’s a dangerous subversion of democracy,” Ajadi declared. “President Tinubu wants to weaken the opposition by stealth, not by merit at the ballot box.”
The ADC’s claim comes amid growing speculation over recent secret meetings between former opposition stalwarts and presidential aides. Though the presidency has yet to respond, insiders within Aso Rock have dismissed the accusations as “baseless political theatre.”
However, ADC is urging all pro-democracy forces to reject what it calls “a creeping one-party dictatorship.” The party insists that a united and independent opposition is vital to holding the Tinubu administration accountable, especially in the face of economic hardship and insecurity.
Political observers are now watching closely as this drama unfolds, with many asking: Is this a genuine warning or a strategic play in the race toward 2027?
