ADC Says Tinubu Should Forget About 2031 and Get Ready to Hand Over Power in 2027
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has strongly criticized the Presidency over its recent claim that President Bola Tinubu has no intention of staying in power beyond 2031.
In a statement released on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the opposition party dismissed the remarks as arrogant and undemocratic. It stressed that Tinubu’s tenure ends in 2027 and insisted that Nigerians deserve and will choose a more competent leader by then.
The ADC expressed deep concern over the worsening state of the nation, particularly the collapse of the naira, rising insecurity, and the harsh economic climate. According to the party, the government has failed to address the suffering of ordinary Nigerians.
“Security has become a national tragedy,” the statement read. “Terrorists and bandits operate freely, citizens are abducted in broad daylight, and rural areas are under siege. The government has shown neither the strength nor the resolve to tackle this menace.”
On the economy, the ADC noted that inflation is spiraling, food prices have tripled in many regions, and jobs are disappearing. It added that businesses are struggling under inconsistent policies and heavy taxation, pushing more Nigerians into hunger and poverty.
The party concluded that rather than talk about extending power, President Tinubu should face the reality of Nigeria’s dire situation and prepare to hand over in 2027.
An update has been shared on the burnt building at Balogun Market on Lagos Island, as it was revealed that a man was rescued 11 days after the building caught fire.
According to reports, the man was found alive on January 6, 2026, after being discovered under the rubble of the collapsed structure.
The survivor has since been taken for proper medical care, while further details are yet to be released.
Meanwhile, passersby and market traders have expressed concern, fearing that more people may still be trapped alive inside the building.
It has been reported that Anthony Joshua has officially been discharged from the hospital following the terrible car crash that claimed the lives of his two closest friends and supporters.
The boxing star was deemed stable enough to go home after the accident. After his discharge, he visited the funeral to pay his respects and see the bodies of his two friends.
Many have expressed grief and offered their support to the boxing star, praying that he will be able to find peace, as grief will undoubtedly be one of the most painful challenges he will face in life.
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
