Stop Blaming Others For Your Failures, APC Counsels The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission ( INEC ), Prof. Joash Amupitan, has warned the African Democratic Congress ( ADC ) against proceeding with its planned congresses and national convention in defiance of a subsisting court order. He cautioned that such actions could trigger grave legal consequences. This came as the ruling All Progressives Congress ( APC ) has strongly dismissed claims by the Senator David Mark faction of the ADC that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is deliberately weakening opposition parties to pave the way for a one-party state ahead of the 2027 elections. The party urged the Mark-led ADC to stop blaming others for its failures and focus on resolving internal leadership crises. It described the allegations against Tinubu as “ fallacious , malicious propaganda .”
