The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) of planning to disrupt an opposition political parties’ summit scheduled to hold in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Saturday.

In a statement on Saturday, the party’s spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi, said the ADC uncovered plans by the APC to interfere with the meeting being organised by opposition parties.

“We have uncovered plans by the ruling APC to disrupt the summit being held by the opposition parties in Ibadan, Oyo State, today, 25th of April,” Mr Abdullahi said.

He said, “After denying us the use of venues in Abuja, they now will not leave us alone to hold our meetings. They say they are not scared, but they are behaving like people who are terrified. But we will not be deterred, because we are on the side of the Nigerian people,” he said.

Earlier, the Peoples Gazette reported that the ADC accused the APC of frustrating its efforts to secure a venue in Abuja for its convention.
