Opposition parties criticise Tinubu over worsening hardship
The African Democratic Congress and Social Democratic Party presidential candidate Adewole Adebayo have criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration, blaming it for rising economic hardship and insecurity in Nigeria. The ADC claims that most Nigerians have lost confidence in the government, citing a survey that shows low approval ratings for Tinubu.
