The All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to resolve its internal crisis.
The APC told the opposition party to stop blaming President Bola Tinubu for its problems.
The APC National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru and the.National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, made the call at a media briefing on Friday in Abuja.
The ADC had alleged that Tinubu was weakening opposition parties to impose a one-party state ahead of the 2027 general election.
The party also accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of unlawfully derecognising its national leadership led by David Mark.
The ADC claimed the commission misinterpreted a Court of Appeal order directing parties to maintain the status quo.
It further accused INEC of partisanship and contempt, calling for the removal of its chairman and commissioners.
Responding, Basiru described the allegations as baseless, saying the facts were clear to Nigerians and the international community.
He urged the ADC to accept responsibility, noting that blaming others would not resolve its internal leadership disputes.
“No amount of external finger-pointing can erase their consistent failures or resolve their lingering leadership issues.
“It is wishful thinking to expect other parties to rescue it from problems it has repeatedly failed to manage,” Basiru stated.
He cited the APC’s loss of seats in Zamfara due to internal crisis as an example of the rule of law at work.
“No outrage, no conspiracy theories, just consequences of failing to put your house in order,” the APC secretary added.
Basiru dismissed claims that Tinubu sought a one-party state, noting Nigeria still has 22 registered political parties.
“President Tinubu has no power to deregister any political party,” he insisted.
