ADC says most Nigerians unhappy with country’s direction
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) claims that 93% of Nigerians believe the country is heading in the wrong direction under President Bola Tinubu. The party cites independent surveys and official data to highlight rising poverty, worsening living conditions, and economic hardship. The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), however, defends its policies, insisting that ongoing reforms are yielding positive results. The ADC argues that the government’s economic measures have led to increased poverty and hardship for millions.
