ADC Criticizes Tinubu's Order to Withdraw Police from VIPs as Mere Political Gesture

The African Democrat Congress (ADC) has criticized President Bola Tinubu's order to withdraw police officers from VIPs, labeling it as a mere political gesture. The ADC's Public Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, stated that the move does not effectively tackle Nigeria's escalating security crisis.

The ADC views the decision as grandstanding and a reflection of a poor understanding of the nation's security challenges. This move comes amidst a backdrop of increasing terror, banditry, mass abductions, and violent crimes across the country, with the ADC highlighting the failure to confront these complex security issues.
