The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) criticizes President Bola Tinubu’s campaign platform, the City Boys Movement, alleging that officials are living extravagantly while many Nigerians face hardship.
In a statement by the NDC’s national spokesman, Osa Director, the party describes the conduct as “tone-deaf,” saying that members of the movement are allegedly displaying luxury, including flying private jets, despite widespread economic strain under the APC-led administration. The NDC argues that public resources should not be used to support “lavish lifestyles for a privileged few” when the country is struggling with poverty.
Both outlets report the same core allegation and attribution to Director. Their coverage emphasizes the NDC’s framing of the issue as government waste and contrasts it with citizens’ difficulties, while not providing independent verification or detailed evidence beyond the party’s claims. The NDC also says it expects its presidential candidate to ensure judicious use of public funds and pledges “zero tolerance” for government waste.
