ADC criticises Tinubu government over hunger denial
The African Democratic Congress has accused the administration of Bola Tinubu of being out of touch with the struggles of ordinary Nigerians. The party reacted to comments by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, who claimed he does not see the level of hunger and hardship being reported. Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC’s National Publicity Secretary, described the remarks as insensitive and reflective of the government’s detachment. The ADC blames current economic challenges on policies introduced by the Tinubu administration.
