The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has said that the African Democratic Congress’ (ADC) dream of winning the 2027 presidential election is a mere mirage and political delusion.
The state APC spokesman, Mr Seye Oladejo, in a statement on Wednesday, said that ADC’s hope of winning the 2027 general elections and boasting that “failure is not an option” remained laughable.
“For a party that has been practically invisible on Nigeria’s political radar, such a statement can only be described as a tragicomic display of self-deception.
“The ADC’s declaration sounds more like a comedy skit than a political strategy. Nigerians can barely recall its existence, let alone its relevance.
“The last time the ADC made any national impact was when a few disenchanted politicians briefly used it as a temporary shelter before returning to their real homes.
“The truth is simple – a party without structure, followership, or a recognizable ideology has no business speaking about winning elections.
“The ADC’s boast of 2027 victory is akin to a political mirage; the closer they think they are to power, the farther it moves away.
“If empty press statements and wishful thinking could win elections, perhaps the ADC would stand a chance. Unfortunately, democracy rewards substance, not self-praise,” Oladejo said.
According to Oladejo, there is absolutely nothing on the ground politically anywhere in the country to warrant the ADC’s “self-deceit”.
He said that a party in perpetual crisis over membership discipline and identity could not be said to be setting its sights on national victory.
Oladejo said the ADC remained “without question, the political joke of the coming national elections.”
He added that Nigerians were not in the mood for political jokes.
