Ogba Oghenevewogaga, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, on Friday declared that the All Progressives Congress, APC, is afraid of the opposition.

Oghenevewogaga warned that under the leadership of its National Chairman, David Mark and presidential candidate, Atiku Abiubakar, the ADC would wax stronger, adding that APC’s fears would come to past in 2027.

In an interview on News Central’s Breakfast Central, the ADC chieftain accused the APC of sponsoring the crisis in the opposition party.

According to Oghenevewogaga: “Whatever you see the ADC going through is being sponsored by the APC and we the Nigerian people will not allow it, the leadership of David Mark will not allow it. The ADC is here to stay for Nigerians and as a matter of fact, we are the only opposition in Nigeria and that is what the ApC is afraid of.

“The APC is afraid of the ADC because they know that if we go into the 2027 general election, they will be defeated. Nigerians are angry, they need an alternative and the ADC is here.”

While making reference to the Firs Lady, Remi Tinubu’s comment that she would empower Nigerian youths to fry Akara and roast corn, the ADC chieftain said the APC is determined to impoverish Nigerians.

He added: “Some days ago, we heard the First Lady saying that she wants to empower people to fry Akara and to do Kulikuli. Who are these people she wants to give those grants to? The person who can fry Akara is the Akara seller, the person who can fry Kulikuli is a Kulikuli seller. So you want the daughter or son of an Akara seller to continue frying Akara.

“This is what the APC wants and it has been fighting because it wants to continue improvising in impoverishing Nigerians and that is why the ADC as a party is saying no this is not what we want.

“Awolowo said he doesn’t want the son of his driver or his cook to be the driver or cook to his own children, this are leaders. How can a First Lady come out and say she wants to empower people to start frying Akara and kulikuli? These are things that the ADC will never do when we take power in 2027.

“They want Nigerians to continue dying of suffering, starvation, and insecurity while bringing up useless policies and that is why they are in court using many other means. Under the leadership of David Mark and Atiku Abubakar, the ADC will keep waxing stronger.”
