The All Progressives Congress has called on opposition figures including Atiku Abubakar and Rauf Aregbesola to take responsibility for the internal crisis in the African Democratic Congress. APC National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka made the remark during his appearance on the Sunday edition of Politics Today on Channels Television. He accused Abubakar's faction of taking over the ADC without understanding its structure and treating existing members with disrespect. Morka said the legal issues began when a party stalwart sued, claiming the takeover was illegitimate. He stated the ADC mishandled its legal response and filed an appeal despite having no basis to do so. "How is their legal mishap the responsibility of the APC?" Morka asked. He questioned why senior opposition figures who have held high offices cannot accept responsibility for the fallout. The APC dismissed claims that it is involved in the ADC's internal problems. This comes after a major opposition summit in Ibadan, Oyo State, where leaders agreed to back a single presidential candidate in the next general election. The meeting was part of efforts to form a coalition against the APC and challenge what attendees called a drift toward a one-party state. The ruling party rejected this narrative, arguing the opposition must first resolve its own divisions.
Felix Morka demands accountability from Atiku and Aregbesola for the ADC crisis yet offers no evidence of APC non-involvement in the party's legal troubles. The ADC's court case was mishandled by its own leaders, and if Atiku's group acted without legitimacy, their actions reflect on the opposition's readiness for power. Nigerians who expected unity from the Ibadan summit now see public blame games instead of resolution. The credibility of the proposed coalition hinges on figures like Atiku first settling scores within parties they join.
