ADC faults Tinubu’s economic policies, promises better deal

The African Democratic Congress (ADC), a Nigerian opposition party, has criticized President Bola Tinubu's economic policies, accusing them of exacerbating poverty and hunger. The party cites recent data showing 139 million Nigerians live below the poverty line and 17 million face acute hunger, claiming these figures demonstrate the failure of Tinubu's administration to improve citizens' welfare despite celebrating economic growth and foreign exchange reserves. The ADC argues that government efforts to frame economic progress as success ignore the reality of deteriorating living conditions and calls for Tinubu to resign or change course. The party also dismisses the government's social programs as insufficient and proposes alternative measures like improving agricultural infrastructure and ensuring food security.
