US EditionFCT council poll: We'll resist any attempt to override voters' will - ADC to Wike
The ADC condemned Wike's remarks as reckless voter intimidation and vowed to uphold democratic will through lawful, constitutional resistance ahead of Nigeria's 2026 elections.
- Condemning the remarks, the ADC vowed to resist any effort to subvert the will of Nigerians through all lawful means after Wike suggested the FCT would act against opponents of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
- As the February 2026 vote nears, the African Democratic Congress alleged that Nyesom Wike and the All Progressives Congress are attempting to intimidate Nigerian voters, reflecting fear and growing unpopularity.
- The African Democratic Congress described Wike’s declaration of 'war' against anti‑Tinubu candidates as reckless and inflammatory, calling it 'not only irresponsible, but dangerous' in the current fragile atmosphere.
- ADC urged Wike not to add to the crisis, saying `Nigeria is not a battlefield for political vendettas` and insisting the sovereign will rests with the Nigerian people.
- The clash pits major political figures and parties against each other as ADC said inflammatory rhetoric is ill-timed amid economic hardship, involving Nyesom Wike, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC, and ADC.
