ABUJA – The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has raised the alarm over plot by the Federal Government to pressure the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan (SAN), to destabilise the party and interfere in its leadership, following the defection of Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
The party said that the decision of Senator Kwankwaso to join the opposition party has understandably sent jitters through the ruling party.
ADC, in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja by Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, said a March 28 letter by some Senior Advocates, purportedly representing an expelled member of the party, is being used to push INEC to invalidate party actions and alter its structure before the court rules.
The ADC alleges that this is part of a grand plan to destabilise the only viable opposition party left in the country and promises to resist it using all constitutional means.
