“The ADC remains proud to stand today as the only truly democratic party in Nigeria, because it is the only political party whose choice of Presidential candidate is determined through open primaries, “ the statement said.
The party noted that the conduct of all participants before, during, and after the primaries would send a strong signal to Nigerians about the kind of leadership culture the ADC seeks to build.
“We therefore urge all aspirants, their supporters, delegates, and party faithful to conduct themselves peacefully, responsibly, and with dignity throughout the process. This election must reflect the values we claim to represent as a party committed to transparency, internal democracy, national unity, and the rule of law,” Abdullahi stated.

The Ogun state police command has reportedly arrested a man for allegedly staging and circulating a fake bandit attack video on social media to gain followers.
According to Zagazola Makama, a counterinsurgency publication, the incident was reported on May 23 after one Ayinla Sodiq from Obasanjo Ota appeared at a police station alongside the suspect identified as Qowiy Oloyede from Oriya Sokoto road, Atan Ota.

The complainant had accused the suspect of creating and sharing a misleading TikTok video falsely claiming that bandits had invaded the Atan Ota community.
The publication reported that the divisional police officer (DPO) immediately questioned the suspect, who allegedly confessed to fabricating the video to gain followers on social media.
In a viral video circulating on social media, the suspect was seen kneeling while being interrogated by a person dressed in a police uniform.
The suspect admitted in the video that he created the fake bandit attack content to gain followers and trend online.
He also said the herder featured in the clip was a cattle rearer who usually grazed cows behind his shop and had initially refused to participate before eventually agreeing.
The suspect further claimed he could neither read nor write, adding that his apprentice wrote the caption accompanying the video posted online.
He added that he had only produced and posted two similar videos, one on Monday and another on Wednesday.
The police authorities were said to have recovered photographs and video evidence linked to the fake publication during preliminary investigation.

The publication added that the suspect is expected to be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID), Abeokuta, for further investigation.
According to the report, the police also warned residents against spreading false information capable of causing panic and public disorder, urging the public to verify information before sharing content on social media. Eereporter.com
