National Publicity Secretary of African Democratic Congress (ADC), Bolaji Abdullahi, has chided the All Progressives Congress (APC) for systematically creating troubles in the opposition parties in the country with the aim of strangulating them thereby sabotaging democracy.
He said the method the party is using is to create lies and cause disunity in the various political parties.
Abdullahi disclosed this in an X post on Tuesday.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party argued that the democratic space is shrinking under the APC characterised by a pattern of interfering in the affairs of opposition parties.
Abdullahi added that those within the APC-led government bent on fomenting crises in opposition parties must be warned before they throw the nation into political instability.
According to him, “This has to be the most shameless government in Nigeria’s history.
“About three weeks ago, the leadership of the PRP, led by its National Chairman, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, paid a courtesy visit to the National Chairman of the ADC.
“A few days later, rumours began to circulate that the coalition leadership was considering the PRP as an option.
“Although this is not true, it took only that single whiff of speculation for a faction to emerge almost overnight in what had been a historically tranquil political party, challenging the leadership of Baba-Ahmed.
“This is the reality of Nigeria’s shrinking democratic space under the All Progressives Congress.
“The government may continue to deny any involvement in the crises within other parties, insisting that these are merely internal failures, but the pattern is visible. The world can see what is happening. More importantly, they can see where this path leads.
“But here is the question: is there no one within the APC who can caution those engineering crises in opposition parties that they are, in fact, sowing the seeds of national instability?
“A political strategy that is anchored on sabotaging every opposition platform is ultimately self-destructive.
“When people are left with no options, they are, in reality, left with no choice.”
