The African Democratic Congress (ADC), has condemned the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, over his reported declaration of “war” against anti-Tinubu candidates ahead of the February 21, 2026 elections.
In a statement, ADC National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi warned that such rhetoric could inflame political tensions and undermine democratic stability.
The party insisted that the outcome of the FCT polls would be determined by voters, not President Bola Ahmed Tinubu or any government official.
The statement described Wike’s threat as “irresponsible and dangerous” in Nigeria’s fragile political climate. ADC emphasized that sovereignty rests with the people, not with any minister or president.
The party also pledged to resist any attempt to intimidate voters or subvert the electoral process, insisting that Nigerians would exercise their franchise freely and lawfully.
