ADC urges probe into Tinubu’s ability to govern
The African Democratic Congress has called on the National Assembly to investigate whether Bola Tinubu is still fit to perform his presidential duties. The party alleges that the president has lost control of his government, with unelected interests possibly exercising presidential powers. The call comes amid controversy over leadership at the Border Communities Development Agency and a series of policy reversals by the administration. The ADC says Nigerians deserve clarity on who is truly in charge of the presidency.
Key takeaways
- The ADC claims that reports of an official remaining in office despite a presidential directive raise questions about Bola Tinubu’s authority.
- The party points to a pattern of confusion, referencing the BCDA dispute and the existence of a "phantom" Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council.
- Policy reversals, such as the suspension of the Cybersecurity Levy and withdrawal of the Expatriate Employment Levy, have allegedly weakened public confidence.
- The ADC urges the National Assembly to determine if the president is still capable of personally exercising his constitutional powers.
- The party warns that ongoing uncertainty could erode investor confidence and undermine public institutions.
