ADC Challenges Tinubu to Engage Voters Before 2027 Election

The ADC's Presidential Campaign Council, led by Director of Media and Publicity Kola Ologbondiyan, has called on President Bola Tinubu to confront Nigerians directly about his administration's performance before he seeks re-election. Ologbondiyan accused Tinubu of treating the electorate with contempt after the president stated he would not attend every campaign rally due to governance responsibilities.

He argued that a president seeking re-election should personally engage with voters, referencing former presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Goodluck Jonathan, and Muhammadu Buhari, who campaigned while in office. Ologbondiyan emphasized that Tinubu's avoidance of direct engagement indicates he is unfit to ask for votes.

The ADC also criticized the Tinubu administration for economic hardship, insecurity, and poverty affecting Nigerians. They urged young voters to reject the ruling APC in the 2027 general election, asserting that another term for the party would exacerbate the country's challenges.

Atiku Abubakar, the ADC presidential candidate, is prepared to campaign across all states, promising to prioritize economic recovery and national security.
