ADC Critiques Tinubu's Administration on Debt Returns

The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council (ADC-PCC) has condemned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's statement, relayed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, which emphasized the importance of what is built rather than how much is borrowed. The ADC-PCC challenged Tinubu to specify what his administration has constructed since taking office in 2023, asserting that Nigerians have experienced minimal or no tangible benefits from the increasing debt.

Kola Ologbondiyan, the ADC-PCC's Director of Media and Publicity, expressed concern that the administration has not demonstrated significant achievements despite extensive borrowing. He criticized the government for promoting projects that exist only on paper, labeling them as "audio projects." Ologbondiyan highlighted the lack of progress on major infrastructure projects and the ongoing struggles of citizens facing hunger and insecurity, emphasizing that the Tinubu administration has not provided a convincing blueprint for governance.
