ADC Maintains APC's Focus is on 2027, Not Addressing Kidnapping or Hunger Issues

Bolaji Abdullahi, the National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, has criticized the ruling All Progressives Congress for its lack of response to reports of 17 million Nigerians living in poverty.

Abdullahi made these comments on Thursday while appearing on Channels Television's Politics Today, where he suggested that the APC's primary focus is on the "next election".

According to Abdullahi, the APC's actions raise questions about their commitment to democracy, which he believes is rooted in the people's right to choose and have their lives improved.

n

He argued that the government's failure to address the plight of 17 million starving Nigerians is a stark example of their disregard for the democratic principle of improving the people's lives.

n

Abdullahi stated that the government's sole concern appears to be the 2027 election, rather than pressing issues like kidnapping and hunger, which he believes they are neglecting.

The ADC National Publicity Secretary noted that the coalition that formed the ADC was driven by a desire to change the kind of politics that has led Nigeria into its current state.

He emphasized that Nigeria will only escape its current problems when a different kind of politics is played, which was the motivation behind the formation of the ADC coalition.
