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.
Lagos State Police react to claims of them taking money from dispatch riders on the Coastal Road in Lagos.
It started after a rumour was shared that police arrest and take money from riders as a demand for high bribes, sometimes reaching ₦200,000, and seize motorcycles if not given.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, then addressed the claims online and stated in his statement that he disagreed that the rumour is true and stated, “The spread of misinformation only causes more harm than good. In this era, we can and must do better.”
It has been announced by the governor of Ogun that Tuesday 3rd of February is a public holiday in order to mark the 50th anniversary of the state creation.
This public holiday declaration was released in a statement by the secretary of the state, Tokunbo Talabi.
He then added that the holiday will provide as a day for the citizens to participate in the activities for the state milestone.
Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
