AUSTIN OKAI: ATIKU, EL-RUFAI’S SONS JOINING APC SHOULD MAKE NIGERIANS EMBRACE ADC

By: Fasasi Hammad
Austin Okai, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has explained why Nigerians should continue to support the party, even as some children of its leaders join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Okai was responding to the recent decision by Abba Atiku, son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, to join the APC on Thursday. Bello El-Rufai, son of ADC leader and former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai, is now a member of the ruling party.
On Friday, Okai urged Nigerians to rally behind ADC, emphasizing that the party demonstrates that “freedom of choice still matters.”
He said, “ADC is not a family franchise or a closed club. It is a truly democratic platform where conviction, not bloodline, determines your political home.
“In a country accustomed to forced loyalty and political inheritance, ADC is proving that freedom of choice still matters—and that is precisely why Nigerians should rally behind it.”
