The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has cautioned President Bola Tinubu to take seriously the growing dissatisfaction among Nigerians, warning that worsening economic conditions could cost him re-election in 2027.

ADC Describes Tinubu’s Remarks as Presidential

Responding, the ADC described Tinubu’s remarks as unpresidential, arguing that they reflected anxiety rather than leadership. The party said the President’s focus on political rhetoric, instead of addressing pressing national challenges, underscores a disconnect with the struggles of ordinary Nigerians.

According to the statement, at a time when citizens are grappling with a historic cost-of-living crisis, rising debt burdens, and declining purchasing power, the President’s approach risks further alienating the public.
