The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of implementing neoliberal economic policies that have led to widespread poverty and hunger in Nigeria.

In a statement, the ADC cited reports from the World Bank and World Food Programme (WFP) indicating that 139 million Nigerians now live below the poverty line, with 17 million facing acute hunger.

The party warned that Tinubu's policies, which prioritize economic statistics over people's welfare, are causing a humanitarian crisis and could lead to more severe consequences if he continues in office beyond 2027.The ADC criticized the APC government for celebrating economic growth and foreign reserves while failing to improve the lives of citizens.

They called for structural reforms to address food insecurity, including rehabilitating abandoned dams, supporting farmers, and reducing energy costs.The ADC emphasized that true economic success is measured by improving people's lives, not just government metrics.They urged Nigerians to choose leaders who genuinely care about their struggles and prioritize sustainable solutions over temporary fixes.
