The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has issued a warning to Nigerians to exercise caution when attending rallies organized by individuals claiming affiliation with the party. According to the party’s factional acting National Chairman, Nafiu Bala Gombe, these events pose security risks, create public confusion, and undermine the party’s integrity.
In a statement released on Friday, Gombe emphasized that any event not sanctioned by the legitimate leadership of the ADC would be considered illegitimate and not recognized by the party. The statement highlighted the importance of maintaining public safety and upholding the party’s credibility. To achieve this, the ADC has directed that all party activities, including rallies, meetings, and events, require prior approval from the authentic party leadership.
The party has urged its members and the public to verify the legitimacy of any ADC events through official party channels to avoid participating in unauthorized gatherings that may compromise security. This measure is aimed at maintaining the party’s integrity and ensuring public safety. The ADC leadership has stressed that only events approved by the legitimate party leadership, under the stewardship of Gombe, would be recognized as legitimate.
The warning comes as the party prepares for future events and activities. The ADC has advised its members and the public to be cautious when attending rallies and events, and to always verify the authenticity of such gatherings. By doing so, the party aims to prevent security risks and maintain its credibility.
The ADC’s warning is a significant development, as it highlights the importance of security and credibility in the country’s political landscape. As Nigeria’s political parties continue to navigate the complexities of the electoral process, the ADC’s stance serves as a reminder of the need for transparency and accountability. The party’s efforts to maintain its integrity and ensure public safety are crucial in promoting a stable and secure political environment.
