Tinubu Is Prioritising 2027 Over Governance – ADC

Bola Tinubu

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused President Bola Tinubu of putting his 2027 re-election ahead of governance. The party recently emphasised widespread budget failures, policy reversals and worsening insecurity under Tinubu’s administration, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, National Publicity Secretary of the ADC, the Federal Government is currently running three national budgets at the same time while struggling to implement them, and the situation is deeply troubling.

He added that key sectors like power, communications, education and health remain underfunded despite the government claiming record revenue and increasing foreign reserves.

His words, “The ADC has noted recent reports that signify utter confusion and a historic level of incompetence in the Tinubu administration’s implementation of national budgets since 2024. This is the first time in Nigerian history that any government would be running three budgets at the same time while implementing none.

This is a blatant falsehood that cannot hold up to any scrutiny.

Certainly, no serious government would leave these sectors, which are crucial to national human capital development, largely unfunded while select government officials continue to live in obscene opulence in the midst of unprecedented poverty and human misery.

Recent reports indicate that in this month of Ramadan alone, up to 500 Nigerians may have been killed by terrorists in Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, and Kebbi.

This is the reason Nigerians are suffering like never before and asking the most important questions: what is this government doing with all the money that accrues from all the loans, all the revenues, and all the increased taxes? Why are we worse off today than we were three years ago?

The Tinubu government has proven that to them everything is about politics and power for its own sake.”

WOW.
