According to a report by Daily Post on Saturday, April 25, 2026, the African Democratic Congress has alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress is taking steps to frustrate its planned opposition summit scheduled to hold in Ibadan.
The summit, which is expected to bring together members of opposition groups, has become a subject of concern following claims by the party that there are ongoing efforts aimed at disrupting the event.
The allegation was made public on Saturday, drawing attention to what the party described as a pattern of interference in its political activities.
The claim was presented by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, who shared the information through a post on the social media platform X.
According to him, the party had uncovered indications that plans were in motion to interfere with the gathering slated for April 25.
He explained that the development was not entirely unexpected, as the party had previously encountered similar challenges in its efforts to organise political engagements in different parts of the country.
The statement highlighted growing concerns within the party regarding what it sees as a deliberate attempt to limit its activities.
The planned summit in Ibadan is considered an important event for the party and its allies, as it is expected to serve as a platform for discussions on opposition strategies and collaboration.
Preparations for the meeting had reportedly been ongoing, with arrangements made to accommodate participants from various locations.
However, the latest development has introduced uncertainty around the smooth conduct of the gathering.
Party members and supporters have been paying close attention to the situation, as the outcome could affect future plans for similar engagements.
In his remarks, Abdullahi indicated that the party would not withdraw from its plans despite the alleged attempts to obstruct the event.
He stated that the ADC remained committed to holding the summit as scheduled and would continue its activities without yielding to pressure.
He also referenced previous instances where efforts to organise meetings, particularly in Abuja, were affected by challenges that the party attributed to external interference.
These experiences, he noted, have shaped the party’s resolve to proceed with its programmes regardless of difficulties.
He said, “They say they are not scared, but they are behaving like people who are terrified.”…Read_More…
