The African Democratic Congress, ADC, yesterday, accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of running what it described as a ‘Ponzi economy’ after the Federal Government moved to secure another $1.25 billion World Bank loan despite Nigeria’s growing public debt estimated at about N159.28 trillion.

The opposition party said the fresh loan request has further fuelled concerns over the country’s rising debt exposure at a time millions of Nigerians are struggling with soaring food prices, inflation, unemployment, business failures and worsening living conditions, nearly two years after the government introduced sweeping economic reforms.

ADC’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, in a statement, yesterday, said the government had continued to borrow heavily without visible improvements in the lives of ordinary citizens.

Abdullahi said: “This is why the ADC says the Tinubu administration is running a Ponzi economy, where new loans are constantly being taken to service old debts and cover fiscal failures, while ordinary Nigerians are left to carry the burden.

“At this point, Nigerians must ask a simple question: if this government keeps borrowing trillions of naira every few months, why are Nigerians getting poorer, and why is life getting harder for the majority?”

According to ADC, Nigeria’s rising debt profile has failed to produce noticeable improvements in critical sectors or ease the economic pressure facing households and businesses across the country.

It said: “Today, Nigeria’s total public debt has risen to about N159.28 trillion, yet food prices continue to rise daily, electricity tariffs are increasing, the naira remains weak, businesses are shutting down, insecurity is spreading, and millions of young Nigerians remain unemployed.

“Families are cutting down on meals, manufacturers are struggling to survive, and small businesses are collapsing under the weight of inflation and poor economic conditions.”

The ADC also raised concerns over the Federal Government’s projected debt servicing obligations for 2026, warning that resources needed for development could be swallowed by loan repayments.

Abdullahi said: “It is noteworthy that President Tinubu himself has declared that Nigeria will spend about $11.6 billion, over N15 trillion, on debt servicing alone in 2026.

“In simple terms, trillions of naira that should have gone into roads, hospitals, schools, electricity, security, agriculture, and job creation will instead go into paying creditors and servicing old loans.

“Each time they want to borrow money, this government invents a new acronym. From armour to reset, hope, or spin, these are merely different labels for the same pretext to continue borrowing without any recourse to measurable impacts on the lives of Nigerians.

“The government removed fuel subsidy, devalued the Naira, increased electricity tariffs, and imposed painful economic policies on citizens, promising that temporary sacrifice would lead to long-term recovery.”

“Instead, Nigerians have continued to suffer one of the worst cost-of-living crises in recent history, while the government continues to pile on more debts.

“The ADC is equally concerned that the National Assembly, which should serve as checks on executive excesses, has been reduced to a mere rubber stamp, approving massive borrowing requests with little resistance or serious public scrutiny.

“Nigeria cannot continue mortgaging the future of unborn generations simply to keep the current administration politically afloat.

“At some point, somebody will pay for all this borrowing, and sadly, ordinary Nigerians are already paying through hunger, inflation, unemployment, business closures, and a collapsing standard of living,” Abdullahi said

yarimo:
your memory didn't served you right, was FUBARA kidnap as incumbent governor? But NGIGE was kidnap. Was FUBARA impeached and removed from government house? Ladoja was impeached and removed from government house. May be you were a kid at that time . Try read history

Kukutente23:
That means you never knew of Ladoja or Ngige

Kukutente23:
At this point I'm beginning to pity Fubara
This is governor abuse
Joining APC was his biggest mistake ever

LordviccoDaGuru:
You're the one calling Tinubu's name I only mentioned Atiku and Obi. If you have any personal problem with Tinubu go and sort it out with him.

LordviccoDaGuru:
Don't have enough characters to give!

DomPerignon:
This Direct primaries going on is by far the best amendment to be made on our existing electoral law as it not only entrenches grassroot participation in party selection process but most importantly it puts contestants and the successful candidate to come down to the level of those who ensured they got on the ballot .

That said, Obi who has a deep phobia for primaries should not be scared any longer as he can now get his phantom organic followers to vote him a ticket.

But knowing Obi has no real national spread besides his SE, this will be an upheaval task as he will need to win the primaries in majority states of the federation.

The only solace Obi has is that NDC is a mushroom party with very negligible registered party members outside the Obidient and Kwankwassai cults and that the few registered card carrying members are mostly Ibos outside the SE and spread across Nigeria .

So with this Obi might get the party ticket but all this changes if Kwankwasso decides to contest and that is where he can dust obi across the north.
