ADC Criticizes Tinubu's Homeland Security Adviser Appointment

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) expressed disapproval of President Bola Tinubu's appointment of Maj Gen Adeyinka Famadewa as Special Adviser on Homeland Security. The ADC, represented by its spokesperson Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, stated that the term "homeland" is meaningless in the Nigerian context, drawing comparisons to its significance in countries like the United States, Germany, and Israel.

Abdullahi emphasized that the appointment reflects a lack of confidence in the current National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, and criticized the creation of a new office that merely replicates existing roles without addressing the underlying security issues in Nigeria. The announcement of Famadewa's appointment was made on Monday, and Senator George Akume also reacted to the appointment, although specific details of his response were not included in the article.
