The African Democratic Congress (ADC) and its presidential campaign council challenge President Bola Tinubu to explain unfulfilled campaign pledges as he seeks a second term. Multiple outlets report that the ADC focuses particularly on Tinubu’s promise of reliable electricity, arguing that many Nigerians still experience poor power supply despite his earlier commitments.
Across coverage, ADC officials also accuse Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of introducing new or repeated promises without accounting for why earlier ones were not delivered. Vanguard and Daily Post Nigeria add that the ADC-PCC says Tinubu’s approach includes divisive rhetoric, personal attacks, and avoidance of questions rather than a clear performance “scorecard.” Daily Post Nigeria also links the criticism to the broader theme of unfulfilled promises, while Nigerian Eye additionally raises questions about an alleged mechanised farming programme involving 2,000 tractors imported from Brazil and about attributing credit for projects started under Muhammadu Buhari.
Overall, the outlets largely agree on the dispute’s core: ADC is pressing Tinubu to provide explanations and evidence of progress, with emphasis on electricity and broader accountability ahead of 2027.
