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.
It has been reported that a Nigerian won the 2026 Spelling Bee World Championship, which was held in Shanghai, China. The winner, Chinedu Great Okdediachi, has now returned home to Delta State after his victory.
It can be noted that the student had already emerged as one of the Gold Award winners in the Middle School Group category.
“Congratulations once again, Chinedu! Your success continues to inspire young Nigerians to pursue excellence through education. Welcome home, Champion!”
The young star has made Nigeria proud by winning the international competition.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
