Tinubu govt seeking excuse to clamp down on coalition – ADC

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government of plotting to stifle legitimate opposition under the pretext of safeguarding national security.

In a strongly worded statement issued on Wednesday, the ADC said its only mission is to rescue Nigeria from what it described as the “irredeemable incompetence” of President Bola Tinubu’s administration—not to undermine democracy.

The party’s interim National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, raised concern over what he called the ruling party’s increasing hostility toward dissenting voices.

This reaction came after Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Information and Strategy, posted on X (formerly Twitter) alleging that certain political figures were “banding together to overthrow an administration that has been the most focused, most transformative in our history.”
