Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed reports claiming it is in talks with the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) ahead of an anticipated court judgment, describing the claims as false and misleading.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued by national publicity secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the party said its coalition leadership is not engaged in any discussions with other political parties at the moment.<\/p>\n

The statement read: \u201cOur attention has been drawn to a story in circulation that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is in talks with another political party, specifically the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), in anticipation of its court judgment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like to state categorically that this is not true.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe coalition leadership is not having any such conversation with any political party at the moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are fully committed to ensuring that the illegal action taken against our leadership by INEC and other agents of the ruling party is upturned. We believe that this is the only path to safeguarding the rule of law and ensuring that multiparty democracy survives in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we are open to expanding the coalition to bring all opposition elements in the country together to rescue our country, we remain clear about the responsibility that this moment has imposed on us. We will not abdicate that responsibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, any suggestion that we are considering abandoning the ADC is preemptive and speculative, and should be ignored.<\/p>\n

\u201cNotwithstanding the flagrant bastardisation of democratic institutions, the ADC leadership remains confident that the judicial institutions will, at this defining moment, resist the pressure to be complicit in undermining Nigeria\u2019s democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n
