APC denies role in Edo incident, says ADC is ‘its own nemesis’ By Ayo Ayodele The All Progressives Congress (APC) has strongly denied allegations by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) linking it to a reported shooting incident involving ADC members in Edo State, describing the opposition party as “its own nemesis.” In a statement issued Thursday in Abuja by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the APC dismissed as “delusional” the ADC’s claim that the ruling party was responsible for the incident, which the ADC raised in a February 25 press statement. The APC accused the ADC of rushing to judgment without allowing security agencies to conduct investigations, saying the opposition party had appointed itself “accuser, investigator, prosecutor and judge” in the matter. While condemning violence in the political space, the APC called on the police and other law enforcement authorities to carry out a thorough and expeditious investigation into the Edo shooting and bring those responsible to justice. The ruling party further urged investigators to scrutinize the ADC’s internal affairs, alleging that the party is plagued by factional leadership tussles and internal clashes. It claimed that reports of confrontations among ADC leaders over control of party structures should form part of the probe. The APC maintained that it had “absolutely no role or responsibility” in the incident, stressing that it remains focused on governance and recent electoral victories. The party cited what it described as major wins in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) municipal elections as well as constituency elections in Rivers and Kano states, expressing gratitude to voters for their support. It also reaffirmed confidence in the leadership of President Bola Tinubu, stating that the administration remains committed to building a stronger and more prosperous Nigeria. The APC concluded by urging political actors to avoid inflammatory accusations and allow due process to take its course.
