The Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Oyo State, Alhaji Yinka Olona, has declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is “dead” and no longer viable as a political force in the country. Alhaji Olona made the assertion in Ibadan on Wednesday while speaking with our correspondent. He insisted that the ADC is poised to produce Nigeria’s next president in 2027. According to the Oyo ADC chairman, “Can’t you see the show of shame ravaging the PDP? Their leadership has repeatedly refused to obey court orders. One faction is either suspending or expelling the other. It is a complete show of shame.” He added that any political party that fails to respect court rulings cannot claim to be credible. “Unless we want to deceive ourselves, the PDP is gone. Once a court delivers judgment or issues a ruling, it is mandatory for any reasonable political party to comply. But what did we see in the PDP? It is unfortunate,” he said. Olona also recalled the activities of t...

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the European Union Election Observation Mission (EU-EOM) have called for urgent electoral reforms to address irregularities in Nigeria’s 2023 general elections and ensure free, fair, and credible polls in 2027. During a meeting in Abuja, led by ADC National Chairman Senator David Mark and EU-EOM Chief of Mission Barry Andrews, both parties criticized the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for failing to deliver on real-time result transmission via the IReV portal and declared results that did not reflect votes cast.  The ADC also faulted the judiciary for undermining the electorate’s mandate by resolving disputes through court rulings rather than democratic processes. To strengthen Nigeria’s electoral system, the ADC proposed that the appointment of INEC’s Chairman and National Commissioners should involve political parties with at least five National Assembly members, rather than being solely the President’s prero...
