The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has faulted a comment by the All Progressives Congress, APC, that there is “no vacancy” for the presidential seat.

The APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, had recently told party members that there was “no vacancy in Aso Rock” in 2027.

However, the ADC spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi, said the comment was “disrespectful ” and disregarded the hardship facing Nigerians.

“We understand why APC is afraid, and would wish that they could somehow avoid that day of reckoning with the ballot box. The very fact of periodic elections means that every incumbent must renew its mandate,” Abdullahi said in a statement late Wednesday, July 30.

“Therefore, regardless of what APC thinks, there will be vacancy at the Presidential Villa in 2027. President Tinubu must re-apply to the Nigerian people, and he must show Nigerians why they should allow him to continue on the job, despite his ruinous policies that have made life miserable for the majority.”
