ADC Will Sack Tinubu, Win APC Nationwide – LP Chieftain
By Alex Odeh
A chieftain of the Labour Party and former House of Representatives member representing Abakaliki/Izzi federal constituency, Dr. Ezeh Emmanuel Ezeh, on Friday, has opened that the new African Democratic Congress (ADC) will sack President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general election.
He described the ADC, comprising a coalition of opposition leaders, as a breakthrough for Nigeria’s democratic future.
In a chat with journalists in Abakaliki, Eze stated that the APC is already falling apart following the formation of the coalition, emphasising that the initiative is not just about removing President Bola Tinubu from office, but also about restoring democratic and economic values.
He added that with the likes of political heavyweights like Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, David Mark, Nasir El-Rufai, Rauf Aregbesola, and others, the APC is dead.
“Let me correct the wrong narrative being weaved by some APC jobbers. The coalition is not just for removing Tinubu from office,” he said. “Rather, it is a well-intended effort to reset Nigeria’s democracy and put it on the path of accountability and responsible governance.”
Dr. Ezeh said the emergence of the coalition has already begun to halt the APC’s attempt to entrench itself as a one-party state. According to him, many Nigerians believe that under APC rule, democratic institutions have been destroyed while hunger and intimidation have become widespread tools of control.
“Most Nigerians believe that Tinubu’s APC has destroyed every institution of democratic governance, and gone ahead to unleash hunger, intimidation, as well as compromised most independent agencies and elites on the highway to one-party state,” he stated.
“The coalition’s first success is pressing an emergency stop button on that dangerous quest.”
He noted that members of the Obidient Movement are fully in support of the alliance, describing it as timely and necessary to salvage what is left of Nigeria’s democratic process.
“We have always maintained that a unified opposition is not only important in a democratic system but essential to address the APC’s dictatorial tendencies,” he said.
“We do not want to return to the militocracy of the past era, which had civilian structures but a junta at the head of the federal government. So, the coalition is central to safeguarding the stability and achievements of Nigeria’s democracy.”
On whether the coalition can unseat Tinubu in the next general election, Dr. Ezeh responded confidently.
“Certainly. The APC’s house of cards is on fire and falling apart already! They have been running around, trying very devious tricks and seeking dangerous strategies to abort the coming landslide. With what happened on Wednesday, I can boldly say, it is rather too late already.
“Nigerians have made up their minds that never again will a gang of free-wheeling politicians deceive them into handing them the country’s treasury. APC’s years of waste will remain indelible in our psyche as a warning and reminder of their years of gloom and destruction,” he said.
