ADC Slams Tinubu Over $9m US Lobbying Deal, Prioritizing Image Over Hardship

The African Democrat Congress (ADC) strongly criticizes President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration for approving a $9 million lobbying contract in the US, alleging that it prioritizes foreign image management over tackling Nigeria's worsening security and economic challenges. The ADC condemns the spending as obscene and calls for redirecting funds towards addressing insecurity, economic hardships, and strengthening diplomatic institutions.

The party urges Tinubu's administration to focus on real issues rather than overseas image repair campaigns. The report highlights the vacant Nigerian ambassadorial positions and the need to bolster Nigeria's diplomatic corps.
