Presidency kicks as ADC will continue its National Convention as planned

• More Updates on ADC party

The Presidency has reacted to the African Democratic Congress (ADC’s) defiance to hold its national convention as planned despite INEC pressures.

The Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, is criticising the rising opposition party for disregard of legality.

“Just continue your illegality, the lawless ADC. The dog that wants to get lost in the forest will ignore the hunter’s whistle”, Onanuga said.

Recall that INEC stripped ADC of its leadership days ago, said it wouldn’t recognise the party’s activities pending court rulings. It was a trap meant to delay ADC and made it to miss schedules in the coming elections. And it means ADC is essentially been deregistered.

ADC’s spokesman Bolaji Abdullahi said in X that the national convention would continue.

“This is to notify all members of the ADC that despite the illegal actions of @inecnigeria, the ADC congresses will continue as follows,” he wrote.
