The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed claims by the All Progressives Congress (APC) that it received ADC House of Assembly candidates from Jigawa, Plateau, Taraba and Zamfara states.
In a statement signed by National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC said the individuals being paraded are not its candidates or leaders.
“The APC cannot assemble random individuals at its secretariat, confer imaginary ADC credentials on them and then announce their defection. While the APC Chairman is welcome to receive visitors, he should stop introducing them to Nigerians as people they are not. These people are not our candidates,” the party said.
The party said the APC should explain how photo-ops translate to addressing challenges facing Nigerians.
The ADC challenged the APC to substantiate the credentials assigned to the individuals paraded.
“The APC should state which ADC offices these individuals supposedly held, the constituencies they represented as our candidates and when they held those positions,” it said.
