Ah, Nigerian politics! Never a dull moment, abi? This time, it’s a verbal showdown between the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC). The APC is not holding back, pointing fingers squarely at the ADC for its internal troubles and dismissing any talk of conspiracy as pure ‘packaging’. Let’s dive into this political drama and see what’s really going on.
APC Says ADC’s House is Not in Order
According to a press statement released on April 2, 2026, by APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the ADC needs to look inwards for its problems. Morka didn’t mince words, stating that the ADC has simply failed to manage its own affairs and shouldn’t be blaming others for its challenges. E shock you? Not really, this kind talk na normal for Naija political space.
Morka didn’t stop there. He described the ADC as an ‘assembly of Nigeria’s most confused and desperate politicians’ and accused them of being ‘peddlers of rabid conspiracy theories’ about the APC. Ouch! That’s a heavy jab, suggesting the ADC is more interested in finger-pointing than fixing its own issues. It makes you wonder if there’s any truth to these claims or if it’s just political grandstanding.

‘Kamikaze Contraption’ and Leadership Tussle
The APC spokesperson went even further, questioning the very foundation of the ADC. He called it a ‘party that never was,’ a ‘kamikaze contraption with a ‘follow-come’ self-destructive detonator.’ Chai! That’s some strong language, implying the ADC was destined to fail from the start. He added that the party is now ‘unravelling fast by instalment.’ This is a significant claim, suggesting deep-seated structural issues within the ADC.
Morka also touched on the ongoing leadership dispute within the ADC, specifically calling out a faction led by David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola. He accused this group of ‘parachuting into the party like thoughtless, planless commandos’ and ‘hijacking the party in violent violation of its constitutional stipulations regarding leadership succession.’ This sounds like a classic case of internal power struggles gone wrong, a common theme in Nigerian political parties. The APC defended INEC’s decision to withdraw recognition from this faction, insisting it followed due legal process. This seems to be the crux of the matter – who is the legitimate leader of the ADC?
Ultimately, the APC maintains that the ADC is solely responsible for its own predicament and that blaming the ruling party is just a distraction. Morka even questioned the ADC’s capacity to govern if it can’t even sort out its own internal issues. He concluded by reiterating the APC’s commitment to President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, aiming for peace, unity, and prosperity for all Nigerians. It’s a bold statement, putting the ball firmly in ADC’s court. What do you think about this political back-and-forth? Let us know in the comments!
