We don't have bullets, we only have the ballots - ADC replies Presidency

Published 2 days ago1 minute read
) has declared that President Bola Tinubu will be removed through the ballot, not by force.

The party dismissed claims that it is plotting to undermine Nigeria’s democracy, accusing Tinubu’s administration of laying the groundwork to clamp down on opposition voices.

ADC’s Interim National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, made the remarks in response to a statement by Tinubu’s spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, who alleged that the opposition was conspiring to overthrow the President.

Describing Onanuga’s comments as reckless and baseless, Abdullahi said that the ADC is committed to democratic processes and has no interest in subverting the nation’s democracy.

“We condemn the tweet by President Tinubu’s aide, Onanuga, alleging that the opposition plans to overthrow the government before 2027. If anything, such statements set the stage for a systematic clampdown on opposition leaders,” Abdullahi said.

“The ADC is not in the business of truncating democracy. We are here to rescue the country from the incompetence of this administration. We don’t have bullets; we only have the ballots. When the time comes, we will present our solutions and an alternative vision to Nigerians and let them decide.”
