The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has accused President Bola Tinubu of becoming ‘a professional statement-maker’ on insecurity, demanding timelines and regular updates on efforts to rescue 176 residents of Woro community in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State who have remained in captivity since they were abducted on February 3, 2026.
For the ADC, the issue is not that some abductees have been rescued. It is that families whose relatives have spent months in captivity say they are still waiting for answers.
The party argued that the government cannot celebrate one rescue while leaving other victims wondering whether they have been forgotten, insisting that every Nigerian life deserves the same urgency and attention.
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the opposition party linked its concerns to Friday’s peaceful protest by Kaiama residents over the fate of the 176 abductees, saying recent attacks across Kwara, Zamfara, Benue, Kebbi, and Borno states showed that insecurity remained a national emergency rather than isolated incidents.
