ADC Critiques APC for N1bn SUV Distribution to Youth Leaders

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has condemned the All Progressives Congress (APC) for allegedly distributing seven luxury sports utility vehicles (SUVs) valued at N1 billion to its youth leaders. The ADC described this action as insensitive, given the economic hardships faced by many Nigerians.

In a statement released on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC accused the APC of prioritizing political mobilization for the upcoming 2027 general elections over the welfare of citizens struggling with rising living costs. The ADC highlighted a disconnect between the sacrifices expected from the populace and the privileges enjoyed by APC members.

They questioned the funding source for the SUVs, insisting that Nigerians deserve transparency regarding public expenditure. The ADC argued that while the APC aims to support grassroots mobilization through these vehicles, many young Nigerians continue to face unemployment and economic challenges, undermining the ruling party's claims of commitment to youth empowerment.
