ADC denies talks with PRP, claims commitment to legal battle

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed reports that it was in talks with the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) ahead of a pending court ruling.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, in a statement issued in Abuja on Monday, described the claims as false.

Abdullahi said the coalition leadership is not currently engaged in any form of discussion or negotiation with any political party.

He stressed that the party remained focused on challenging what he described as illegal actions taken against its leadership by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other groups.

Abdullahi expressed the ADC’s commitment to ensuring that such actions are quashed by the court.

“We believe this is the only path to safeguard the rule of law and ensure the survival of multi-party democracy in Nigeria,” he said.

The party spokesperson added that while it remains open to opposition alliances, the ADC will not abandon its responsibilities or stray from its commitment to restoring democracy.

“Therefore, any suggestion that we are considering abandoning the ADC is preemptive and speculative and should be ignored,” he added.

Abdullahi, however, expressed confidence in the judiciary, urging the courts to resist any pressure to be complicit in undermining the country’s democracy.(NAN)

NES TASKS MEMBERS TO PLANTING TREES AS WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY CELEBRATES IN ABEOKUTA Urges residents to take personal responsibility for environmental protection Tasks members to plant at least one tree each, drives climate action The President of the Nigerian Environmental Society (NES), Abeokuta Chapter, Alhaji (Chief) Jamiu Adebayo Badmos, has called on professionals environmentalists and residents to take concrete actions against climate change by adopting tree planting methods and sustainable environmental practices. In a special message to mark World Environment Day 2026, Badmos stressed that protecting the environment remains a shared responsibility that cannot be left to government alone, but must be driven by deliberate individual and community actions. He noted that the annual global observance serves as a reminder of the urgent need to safeguard the environment from worsening climate conditions, pollution and ecological degradation. “This year’s celebration reminds us that protecting the environment is not the exclusive responsibility of governments and institutions; it is a collective duty that begins with individual actions,” he said. The NES President urged members of the Abeokuta chapter to set an example by planting at least one tree each in their homes, workplaces or communities, describing tree planting as a practical step towards environmental sustainability. According to him, a single tree plays a critical role in carbon sequestration, air purification, erosion control, biodiversity conservation and broader climate change mitigation efforts. It also encouraged members to document and share evidence of their tree planting activities as part of efforts to promote responsibility and inspire broader public participation in environmental management. “The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago; the second best time is now,” Badmos said, urging immediate action rather than continued delays in addressing environmental challenges. He expressed optimism that sustained efforts to plant trees would help make Abeokuta greener, Ogun State healthier and Nigeria more resilient to environmental risks. Badmos reaffirmed NES’s commitment to ongoing support, awareness creation and practical interventions aimed at promoting a cleaner and more sustainable environment. He congratulated the chapter members on the occasion of World Environment Day 2026, urging them to remain steadfast in their commitment to environmental protection and climate action. AND
