ADC Unveils Foreign Envoys To Expose Opposition’s Oppression By Tinubu Govt
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) says it would appoint envoys in 12 major foreign cities as part of a broader effort to draw international attention to what it describes as a growing trend of undemocratic practices and attacks on opposition figures by the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
ADC Spokesman Bolaji Abdullahi reported the move by the party in a statement on Saturday.
The development follows on the heels of the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) delisting the David Mark-led leadership of the party.
Abdullahi’s statement said:
ADC is taking its fight for democracy globally.
As part of our efforts to strengthen international engagement, we are establishing a Special Representatives Network across key global capitals to engage foreign governments, amplify credible information about Nigeria’s political environment, and counter one-sided government narratives.
This comes amid growing attacks on our members, attempts to undermine our leadership, and efforts to restrict political participation ahead of the 2027 General Elections.
Our representatives will engage foreign governments, international media, democracy institutions, and the Nigerian diaspora, providing regular briefings on political developments, human rights concerns, and electoral integrity.
We are also launching a National Documentation Initiative to systematically track and report incidents affecting political participation across Nigeria.
From Washington DC to London, Brussels to Addis Ababa, ADC is building a global platform for accountability.
Nigeria’s democracy must be seen, heard, and defended everywhere.
