Tinubu's Aide Critiques NDC for Missing Manifesto

Bayo Onanuga, the special adviser to President Bola Tinubu, publicly criticized the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) for not presenting a clear vision or manifesto for the upcoming 2027 general elections. Onanuga's statement, made via a post on X, highlighted his unsuccessful attempts to download the NDC's manifesto from their website, which he claimed contained no accessible documents despite an invitation to click for the manifesto.

He pointed out that the NDC, which recently became a platform for former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi and former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, had not uploaded any manifesto since its registration in February. Onanuga further remarked that the NDC's website displayed six policy pillars but lacked substantive content, describing them as mere platitudes.

He called for the party's leadership, including Senator Seriake Dickson, to unveil a concrete vision for Nigeria, indicating a political battle ahead against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
