The National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Bolaji Abdullahi, has criticised the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), describing it as the most shameless government in Nigeria’s history.

Referring to the ongoing crisis within the People’s Redemption Party (PRP), Abdullahi warned that a political strategy centred on undermining opposition platforms is ultimately self-destructive.

Abdullahi made the remarks in a post shared on his official X handle on Tuesday, where he accused the government of weakening opposition parties and narrowing Nigeria’s democratic space.

According to him, recent developments within the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) reflect a concerning pattern.

He explained that about three weeks ago, the PRP leadership, led by its National Chairman, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, paid a courtesy visit to the ADC leadership.

However, shortly after the visit, speculation began to circulate that a political coalition 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,” he said.

Abdullahi argued that the situation reflects a broader trend under the APC-led administration.

“This is the reality of Nigeria’s shrinking democratic space under the APC,” he stated.

He noted that while the government may deny involvement in internal disputes within opposition parties, the pattern appears increasingly evident.

“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,” he said.

The ADC spokesman questioned whether there are voices within the ruling party willing to advise against such actions.

“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?” he asked.

He warned that a political approach focused on weakening all opposition platforms could have unintended consequences.

“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,” he added.
