This is not politics. This is sabotage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the move was designed to create internal chaos, weaken the party\u2019s leadership, and hinder the rise of a strong alternative to the APC.<\/p>\n<p>The party described the effort to lure or threaten opposition figures as a \u201ccoordinated assault on Nigeria\u2019s democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is how one-party states are born, through fear, coercion, and manipulation,\u201d Abdullahi said.<\/p>\n<p>He linked the development to the recent unveiling of the ADC-led opposition coalition that has unsettled the presidency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is now obvious that the Tinubu administration, having lost public trust, is unable to face a united and credible opposition,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead of addressing the country\u2019s challenges, it has returned to the old playbook of destabilising rivals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ADC accused the ruling party of dragging the country into dangerous political territory.<\/p>\n<p>It vowed to resist what it called a desperate attempt to silence dissenting voices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis party belongs to every Nigerian who is tired of the lies, the hardship, and the manipulation,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will not allow a few desperate men to take the country backward, we will resist them through every democratic means available.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ADC alleged secret meeting with top officials aims to intimidate and split its ranks for political advantage.
