Nigeria’s political landscape is never short of drama, but let’s stop the comedy—comparing the newly "adopted" ADC by a group of political journeymen to the monumental formation of the APC is like comparing a WhatsApp group to a merger of corporations.
Let’s dissect it with FACTS, not fanfare:
1. APC Was Formed—ADC Was Adopted. The APC was a carefully structured party, not a rented vehicle for disgruntled elements. It wasn’t adopted overnight; it was built. It emerged from the vision of merging parties, not patching up political orphans.
2. Real Parties, Not Political Orphans. The APC was the result of powerful political parties—ACN, CPC, ANPP, and a major faction of APGA—surrendering their entire structures. These were organized national machines, not defectors or leftovers. Today’s ADC “coalition” is a collection of political ‘freelancers’ looking for a platform, not building one.
3. APC Was a Force, Not a Protest Movement. By 2013, even before their merger was completed, the handwriting was already on the wall: Jonathan was vulnerable. The APC tapped into the public anger against the PDP government with a formidable structure. Today’s Tinubu-led APC, despite its controversies, is gaining ground with elected opposition members crossing over daily. That was never the case with Jonathan’s PDP.
