BREAKING: Akpabio ignites political storm, declares ADC “politically dead” as Nigeria’s opposition faces new pressure

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has reportedly described the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a “politically dead” party, triggering fresh controversy across Nigeria’s political space.

The statement has intensified debate around the strength and survival of opposition parties, especially as internal divisions, defections, and leadership struggles continue to shape the political landscape.

While critics say the remark is a political attack aimed at weakening opposition credibility, ADC supporters insist the party is still active and rebuilding its structure ahead of future elections.

Observers say the comment adds fuel to Nigeria’s ongoing political realignment battle, where major players are increasingly trading sharp public statements as the race for influence continues.
