ADC Slams Tinubu for Budget Speech, Not Independence Message, on National Day

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) criticized President Bola Tinubu for delivering a budget speech instead of an Independence Day message on October 1. The party spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, accused Tinubu of missing the essence of the day by focusing on the administration's achievements rather than addressing the historical significance of Nigeria's independence.

Abdullahi highlighted the need for leaders to connect with the country's past struggles and future hopes, criticizing Tinubu for failing to do so in his address. The ADC emphasized the importance of acknowledging Nigeria's history and current challenges in national speeches.
