Probe Tinubu’s fitness for office, ADC urges N’Assembly

The African Democratic Congress (ADC), Nigeria's main opposition party, has urged the National Assembly to investigate whether President Bola Tinubu is still fit to serve, citing concerns about his control over the government. The ADC alleges that unelected interests may be influencing presidential decisions and points to recent controversies such as the reported leadership dispute at the Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA). They claim that an official allegedly removed by presidential directive continues to hold office, raising doubts about the legitimacy of executive actions. The party also references other issues, including the existence of a 'phantom' agency known as the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council and policy reversals like the suspension of the Cybersecurity Levy and the withdrawal of the Expatriate Employment Levy. These developments, according to the ADC, have undermined public trust in the government.
