Nigeria sinking on daily basis, APC only focused on 2027 polls – ADC
The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, of only focusing on the 2027 general elections while the country is ‘sinking on a daily basis’.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Bolaji Abdullahi, made this allegation on Thursday during an interview on MEDIA TODAY’s Politics Today.
He lamented the rise in insecurity and hardship, which he said had ravaged the country.
According to him: “For God’s sake, the country is sinking on a daily basis under their watch. The last report that we saw said 17 million Nigerians are starving to death.
“I’ve not heard the president say one word. 17 million, that is the population of many countries put together, starving to death. That’s not opposition’s narrative, that’s an international organization that monitors hunger across the world, and the president has not said anything.
“I’ve not heard these people you mentioned say anything, and democracy is anchored on the principle that you want to make life better for the people. That is one thing that this government is not good at, and that’s one thing they don’t care about.
“If you listen to them, they have only one problem today; not this kidnappings, not this insecurity, not the hunger, not the cost of living.
Every second brings Nigerians closer to exercising their democratic right and shaping the future of our nation.
Exercise your democratic right responsibly, peacefully and lawfully.
“The only problem they have as far as they are concerned is 2027 election, and that’s why, when you listen to them, that’s what they talk about as if they are in opposition, as if their mandate has ended, as if they don’t have a duty to solve the problems that the country is confronted with.
“So we are not distracted, we are clear in our mind what we want to achieve, and every single person that is a member of the ADC today is convinced that this is the only alternative that is left for Nigeria, and that’s where we derive our confidence from.”
