From Ndubuisi Orji, Abuja

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has said the weakness of opposition political parties is a threat to the country’s democracy and welfare of citizens.

The National chairman, Okey Nwosu, stated this,  at the launch of Digital Political Academy at ADC Global Campus, Abuja.

Nwosu urged the opposition to brace up in the interest of citizens, who are going through different kinds of hardship in the country.

According to him, “the state of the nation, worsening economy and security situation under the APC should challenge all opposition parties. The signal, from the Edo and Ondo elections and the human right abuse, show the weakness of the opposition.

“ The weakness of the opposition threatens our democracy, the nation, and exposes our citizens to great harm. For the many families who cannot feed and poverty ravished, for our unemployed graduates, the opposition must stand up to be counted.

“Our Party ADC and the PRP are committed to building a virile opposition and are standing firm together on Justice. We must not allow the chaos to override our stelar character as a transformation, innovation and value-driven political party.”

The  ADC chairman, while condemning the arrest of right activist, Dele Farotimi, called for his immediate release.

“I am sure you are aware of the arrest of Dele Farotimi. I call on the federal authorities to ensure the safety and wellbeing of this honourable gentleman. We call for his immediate release and also ask the authorities to call their operatives to order. Institutions are being desecrated; citizen rights are being trampled upon. All this must stop,” Nwosu stated.
