The African Democratic Congress has opposed President Bola Tinubu over his recent criticism of opposition parties.

ADC accused the President of presiding over “one of the most painful periods in Nigeria’s democratic history” and warning against what it described as early signs of plans to rig the 2027 general elections.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the opposition party reacted to remarks made by Tinubu during his acceptance speech after emerging as the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress for the 2027 election.

Tinubu had said opposition leaders lacked vision and would only take Nigeria backwards if entrusted with power.
