The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has said President Bola Tinubu should be concerned about a possible defeat in the 2027 general elections, citing widespread hardship and insecurity in the country.

In a statement issued on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the party said Tinubu would be contesting against “millions of Nigerians” affected by what it described as unprecedented economic and security challenges under his administration.

DAILY POST reports that the ADC was reacting to recent remarks by Tinubu in which he said he was not afraid of the opposition and reportedly mocked them over their convention.

The party described the President’s comments as unpresidential, accusing him of focusing on politics instead of addressing pressing national issues such as rising poverty and insecurity.

The ADC said the President’s remarks reflected “anxiety” and a disconnect from the realities facing citizens, including high cost of living, food inflation, and declining purchasing power.

“What Nigerians saw was not the confidence of a leader in control. It was the anxiety of a President increasingly disconnected from the reality of hardship, insecurity, and frustration facing millions of citizens.

“At a time when families are battling a historic cost of living crisis, food inflation, rising debt burdens, and collapsing purchasing power, the President chose to mock the opposition instead of addressing the suffering of Nigerians. However, even as he spoke, reports of children being abducted from examination centres were circulating. This is the reality of today’s Nigeria, insecurity spreading deeper into everyday life while government appears distracted,” the ADC said.

The opposition party also faulted the President’s characterisation of its convention, insisting it did not hold its gathering on the street. It suggested the President may have been misinformed.
The party additionally accused Tinubu of attempting to court supporters of late former President Muhammadu Buhari ahead of the next election, describing the move as hypocritical.

[Data boy. You don cast . Nobody takes you serious again ]The cankerworm ADC should stop the joke

Was it not just yesterday, Atiku threw jabs at Kwankwanso, Today, it's Amaechi's turn to throw jabs at Atiku and Peter Obi

Perhaps tomorrow, it would be the turn of Obi or Kwankwanso to return the jabs at each other.

Imagine the disorganized opposition that want to take Power in 2027 when the election is even less than a year
