ADC Accuses APC of Ignoring Worsening Nigerian Hardship

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of ignoring rising poverty and hardship under President Bola Tinubu's administration. In a statement issued Sunday, ADC National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi cited independent data showing Nigeria's poverty rate increased from 50% to 63% since subsidy removal. The party referenced survey findings that 93% of Nigerians believe the country is heading in the wrong direction, with 82% lacking sufficient food and 82% without medical care. ADC also highlighted fuel price surges (₦255 to ₦1,500/liter) and food import bill increases (₦3.83T to ₦7.65T) as evidence of failed policies. The opposition urged the government to prioritize citizen welfare over political attacks.
