The African Democratic Congress (ADC) campaign council criticises President Bola Tinubu’s re-election push, arguing his administration is repeating unfulfilled 2023 promises and failing to provide a clear account of its performance. Multiple outlets report ADC statements challenging Tinubu to explain why promised reforms have not materialised, including a focus on electricity reliability and a demand that he account for previous commitments before seeking a second term.
Several reports also highlight ADC accusations aimed at the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Vanguard and Nigerian Eye describe ADC allegations that APC figures use cash, food and gifts at political events to win support ahead of 2027, with Nigerian Eye pointing to a circulated TikTok video said to show a minister distributing cash and APC-branded wrappers in Rivers state. The Daily Post and Vanguard also frame ADC’s position around political accountability, saying voters should not be “bought” and questioning why new promises are introduced without addressing earlier gaps.
Across the coverage, the shared theme is ADC contesting Tinubu’s credibility on policy delivery (especially electricity) and alleging misuse of money or inducements at political events. Outlets largely align on what the ADC is claiming, while differing in emphasis between manifesto recycling, electricity accountability, and the cash-and-gift allegations at APC gatherings.
