ADC challenges Tinubu's revenue claims and condemns petrol tax hike

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has criticized President Bola Tinubu's revenue claims, highlighting a trillion Naira shortfall in the 2025 budget projection despite the government's assertion of meeting revenue targets. The ADC also condemned the new 5% petrol tax and a 300% hike in passport fees, labeling them as cruel policies that burden struggling Nigerians.

The party questioned the government's borrowing practices despite claiming record revenue collection, emphasizing the disconnect between official statistics and the reality of hardship faced by many Nigerians.
