ADC Slams Tinubu Over UN Security Council Bid Amid Rising Insecurity

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) criticized President Bola Tinubu for pushing Nigeria to secure a permanent seat on the UN Security Council amid escalating insecurity. The party condemned the government's focus on global recognition while failing to address the daily attacks by bandits and terrorists in Nigeria.

ADC highlighted recent killings in Zamfara and Katsina, where over 140 Nigerians have been murdered, emphasizing the urgent need for peace and security at home before seeking global recognition. The party also criticized the reported extortion of farmers in Zamfara by armed groups.

ADC called for the government to prioritize domestic security over international ambitions.
