ADC website crashes after surge in membership registration
- ADC’s website crashed three times due to increased traffic.
- Recent political endorsements boosted membership registration.
- The ADC aims to provide a credible alternative for Nigerians.
Surge in Website Traffic Sparks Technical Issues
ADC Chairman Ibrahim Mani reported that the party’s website experienced significant technical issues, crashing three times within one week. This unprecedented spike in online traffic occurred after the announcement of the ADC as a new coalition platform for the opposition, drawing hundreds, if not thousands, of Nigerians eager to register as members. Mani attributed these interruptions to the overwhelming interest from the public, noting that the surge forced the party to re-host their website multiple times.
Notable Political Alignments Fuel Interest
The rush for registrations came on the heels of notable political figures aligning themselves with the ADC-led coalition. Figures such as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s Peter Obi, and others have added to the appeal. Mani emphasized that this new interest shows a growing demand for alternative political options as citizens express dissatisfaction with current governance.
ADC Strives for Grassroots Engagement
Amid these changes, the ADC is focused on building a broad-based, grassroots political movement, intending to provide a real alternative and prevent Nigeria from veering into a one-party state. Mani highlighted that inclusivity is fundamental; the ADC welcomes all law-abiding citizens who share its vision. As the party pauses to address technical challenges online, it is simultaneously ramping up offline efforts, reaching out to communities across Nigeria.
In summary, the African Democratic Congress is witnessing an influx of interest resulting in technical difficulties for its online registration platform. High-profile political endorsements and the party’s inclusive approach are key factors behind this surge. As they work to stabilize their digital presence, the ADC is also keen on mobilizing grassroots support ahead of the 2027 elections.
