The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed reports linking it to a proposed merger with the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP).
The party spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi in a statement issued on Monday via his X page said ADC’s focus remains squarely on reclaiming its leadership through the courts.
He described the speculation as “premature” and “misleading”, stressing that no talks of any political alliance or platform switch were underway.
According to him, the party’s immediate priority is challenging what he called “unlawful interference” in its internal affairs.
Abdullahi made it clear that the party has not opened discussions with the PRP or any other political group.
He rejected suggestions that ADC was considering abandoning its platform as unfounded.

He said any such claims should be disregarded, insisting that the ADC remains intact and focused on resolving its leadership dispute.
Court case
At the heart of the matter is a legal contest involving the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which the ADC accused of taking steps that undermined its recognised leadership.
He argued that pursuing justice through the courts is essential, not only for ADC internal stability but also for protecting Nigeria’s democratic framework.
Abdullahi expressed confidence that the judiciary would act independently and uphold the rule of law despite external pressures.
While he ruled out any immediate merger plans, he signalled that the party is not opposed to future collaboration with other opposition parties.

Abdullahi said such decisions would be guided by timing, necessity and alignment with ADC’s broader political goals.
He insisted that the party would not walk away from its platform while its leadership’s legitimacy remains under judicial review.
