According to attorney Kenneth Okonkwo, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is currently the nation’s most promising opposition group.
Okonkwo made this claim on Friday during an interview on Channels TV’s morning brief.
He claimed that the ADC did not rely on resources or authority from the government to draw members, and he predicted that more lawmakers would soon join the party.
He claims that a combination of opposition leaders looking to oppose the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is what is driving the party’s increasing popularity.
“We’re not APC; we don’t have resources or power to offer. Since we are not the dominating power, it is not even within our grasp,” he stated.
However, he maintained that the ADC has become the most effective opposition platform in the nation, even if it does not hold federal power.
“The African Democratic Congress, or ADC, is currently the main opposition party,” Okonkwo said.
The attorney mentioned that he had previously counseled opposition leaders from organizations like the Labour Party (LP) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to band together in order to successfully oppose the ruling party.
“I have long stated that the PDP, LP, and other parties are not viable. “It would be beneficial for the opposition leaders and parties to form a coalition,” he stated.
He claimed that in the end, the alliance decided to use the ADC as a political platform to work toward what he called the goal of a new Nigeria.
“They were able to deal with the APC, which has established itself as an enemy of democracy and undoubtedly an enemy of the welfare of the people, when they came together,” Okonkwo continued.
