ADC Slams Governor Abiodun's 1,200 Aides Appointment as 'Daylight Robbery'

The Ogun State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has criticized Governor Dapo Abiodun's appointment of 1,200 political aides as "daylight robbery" aimed at advancing his 2027 political ambitions. The ADC condemned the move as a misuse of public funds, diverting resources from addressing pressing challenges like rising living costs, unemployment, and poor infrastructure.

The party accused the governor of prioritizing political patronage over grassroots development and welfare. The ADC emphasized the need for job creation policies and inclusive growth instead of what they described as tokenistic handouts.

The party called on civil society to hold the government accountable for its spending decisions.
