Vice President Kashim Shettima has slammed the African Democratic Congress (ADC) over irregularities in its digital membership registration exercise, mocking the opposition party after it previously advocated for electronic transmission of election results.
Shettima made the remarks on Wednesday during an interfaith breaking of fast attended by federal ministers and hosted by President Bola Tinubu.
At the event, the Vice President alleged that the ADC’s online membership registration portal was quickly overwhelmed by “fictitious” entries shortly after it was launched.
“The same Alliance for Democratic Confusion that insisted on electronic transmission of votes opened their portal for new member registration, and it was flooded with fake names, fictitious identities, and so on.
“You and I know, but as Winston Churchill said, ‘truth is so precious that it must be surrounded by a bodyguard of lies.’ Lies, lies, lies are what is driving the opposition in this country,” Shettima said.
The Vice President also dismissed claims that opposition governors were being pressured to join the ruling party.
“The political season is approaching, and I urge everyone to play their part—we are all political actors and must promote our government. Politically, we are in a stronger position now than in 2023.
“No one has forced the governors of Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Kano, Adamawa, Taraba, or Enugu to join the APC. Their decisions are entirely voluntary because they have seen the light,” he said.
