ADC Leaders Are ‘Me-Or-Nothing Politicians’-APC
The ruling APC on Thursday described the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a gathering of deceivers and self-centred individuals who are driven by personal grudges submitting that Nigerians are wise and discerning enough not to fall for the coalition’s ‘misguided agenda’.
ADC, a political party that is getting positioned as a significant political force in the country, was unveiled and presented as the political party that will serve as a platform for members of opposition parties in the country ahead of the 2027 General Election at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja, on Wednesday.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that APC reacted to the rebirth of African Democratic Congress (ADC) via a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Felix Morka on Thursday describing the party as ‘a coalition of hoaxers and self-obsessed merchants of vendetta’.
The statement noted that both the APC and President Bola Tinubu remain calm and committed, and determined to use every available resource to build a stronger, lasting, and more prosperous nation for current and future generations of Nigerians.
‘The vaunted opposition coalition platform of choice, the African Democratic Congress (was unveiled yesterday, Wednesday, July 2, 2025, with a gasping whimper, not the roar that its promoters loudly touted.
However, in reality, it was an unveiling of a coalition of hoaxers and self-obsessed merchants of vendetta, a roll call of Nigeria’s me-or-nothing politicians, who equate their selfish interest with the interest of Nigerians, who cannot bear to be out of the corridors of power and patronage, who are desperate to grab power for themselves by guile and subterfuge, who lay claim to an immoral birthright to power, even while draped in odious record of betrayal of public trust, and rapacious public service.
Not surprisingly, the speech delivered by Senator David Mark, the alleged National Chairman of ADC, was disgracefully vacant, without substance or purpose, nothing but stitches of untruths, diatribe, and regurgitated and baseless allegations against the APC-led administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
From the beginning to the end, Senator Mark said nothing about the purpose of the so-called coalition other than a loud declaration of desperation for power. What value does the coalition bring to Nigerians? Why should any Nigerian be concerned about a coalition of a bunch of egotistical maniacs for whom power and patronage are the oxygen on which their lives depend?’ he said.
The ruling party added that the ADC leaders are politicians driven only by a greedy thirst for power with no regard for Nigerians.
‘One would have expected that, after months of vacillating between the devil and the deep blue sea, in search of a host platform, Senator Mark and his co-travelers would take Nigerians seriously enough by telling them what their coalition would do differently regarding the administration’s bold economic and sectoral policy reforms.
What key alternative policy approaches would the coalition implement, and with what prospects of success compared to the high value and transformative impact of the administration’s reform policies? What exactly is the philosophical or ideological leaning of the coalition or its new party, aside from desperation for power at all cost, by all means necessary and unnecessary?
Senator Mark’s speech was loud in its silence to these questions because he and his coalition partners are disgracefully clueless, without a care or concern about Nigeria and Nigerians, only filled with wolfish quest for power for their own mendacious end.
This desperation is the reason for their willful blindness to the massive structural transformation of our country’s economy that has earned the praise and admiration of local and global economic experts, and now delivering improved living conditions and benefits to our people.
With GDP growth rate of 3.4%; with external reserves from $4billion in 2023 to excess $24billion in 2024; cleared backlog of forex debt and CBN ways and means; debt service-to-revenue ratio from about 99% to 40%; with initial reform-induced inflation spike upwards of 31% in 2024 now tampered to 22% in 2025 and still declining; with rapidly declining prices of basic commodities; and with our farmers earning more than they have ever earned.
And even with our oil exports at an all-time high; with unprecedented quarter on quarter trade surpluses; with vast stability in foreign exchange market; with states and local governments enjoying vastly increased revenue allocation; with unprecedented access to student loan; and with stable academic calendars free from strike disruptions; with massive uptake in delivery of modern road and other transport infrastructure.
With thousands of health care facilities built, revamped and upgraded; with determined war on terror and banditry that has yielded the neutralization and arrests of nearly 40,000 fighters; with many notable achievements in power, interior, aviation sectors; and with implementation of new minimum wage and significant impact of various social investment programmes, these opposition elements would stop at nothing to denigrate the success and transformative impact of reform policies for their own base interests’ the statement added-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
