Supporters of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) took to the streets of Abuja on Wednesday in a massive demonstration over the party’s escalating leadership crisis.
The protest, drawing large crowds, comes amid heightened tensions within the ADC following disputes over leadership recognition.
Top opposition figures, including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Rabiu Kwankwaso, joined the rally, signaling a strong show of unity among key opposition leaders.
The demonstration is linked to recent actions by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which withdrew recognition from a faction of the party’s leadership, intensifying internal divisions.
Reports suggest that the party is currently embroiled in a three-way struggle for control, with multiple factions claiming legitimacy.
Party leaders described the protest as a fight to safeguard democracy, emphasizing that the integrity of Nigeria’s electoral system must be protected.
