The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has described President Bola Tinubu’s Democracy Day address as a campaign speech that laid bare what it called the failure of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to deliver on its promises after 11 years in power.
In a statement on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the opposition party said the President’s speech offered Nigerians fresh promises instead of answers to the deepening economic hardship, insecurity and unemployment confronting the country.
According to the ADC, President Tinubu’s repeated assurances that prosperity, jobs and improved security are on the horizon amount to an admission that the APC was yet to fulfil the commitments that brought it to power in 2015.
“After three years of President Tinubu and eleven years of APC rule, Nigerians deserve results, not recycled promises,” the party said.
The ADC argued that Democracy Day should have been an occasion for the President to account for his administration’s performance and the APC’s decade-long stewardship, rather than present what it described as another catalogue of future intentions.
