Dare made the remarks during his appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
Dare also emphasized that there is no plan to ensure that only the APC appears on the ballot in the 2027 elections.
Reacting to the deregistration of the David Mark-led faction of ADC by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Dare said: “The federal government will always protect the rights of the people to carry out their activities.
“Journalists work freely and attack the President on a daily basis with no one stopping them from doing their job.
“Is it supposed to be the duty of the president to help organise the opposition?
“Building a strong political party is a tedious process. We all know how difficult it was to build the APC.
“APC is not the architect of ADC’s crisis. It is self-inflicted. Instead of building their party into a strong force, the leaders are looking for shortcuts.
“Building a strong political force requires sacrifice and hard work. If you cannot do that, don’t blame someone else for the resultant failure.”
