In a post on his handle after meeting Adamawa ADC stakeholders at his Abuja residence, Atiku described the visit as emotional and urged party leaders to prioritise unity and inclusion.

He said the ADC has emerged as a strong opposition platform built on structure, ideology, and determination to take on the ruling APC.

Atiku also expressed confidence that the party is positioned to win future elections if it maintains internal cohesion.

Meanwhile, the Presidency dismissed opposition strength claims, insisting that the ADC is facing internal disputes and leadership tensions.

A presidential aide, Bayo Onanuga, criticised the opposition bloc, saying recent disagreements within the party expose deeper cracks in its structure.

The party was reacting to claims by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which accused the state government of attempting to revisit a concluded case for political reasons.

In a statement on Saturday, APC Publicity Secretary Abdulwaheed Babatunde dismissed the allegations, calling them baseless and insisting that the matter remains a legal issue, not a political one.

He said neither Saraki nor the PDP should be alarmed if they have nothing to hide, adding that the judiciary will rely only on evidence and facts in reaching a decision.

Babatunde also urged Saraki to allow the legal process to take its course instead of engaging in public arguments, stressing that no one is above the law.

The APC further defended the move to pursue justice in the case, saying it is the government’s responsibility to ensure accountability and fairness for victims.

It accused the PDP of politicising the matter, while maintaining that the current administration remains focused on governance and development projects in the state.
