The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has strongly criticized the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for prioritizing the 2027 election over pressing issues like poverty and hunger.ADC National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, accused APC of being more interested in maintaining power than addressing the needs of Nigerians.He highlighted that 17 million Nigerians are suffering from extreme poverty and hunger under APC's leadership, yet the government remains silent.Abdullahi argued that democracy requires leaders to prioritize the people's welfare, not just electoral gains.He criticized APC for adopting a cynical approach to politics, where leaders engage in demagoguery instead of solving national problems.

The ADC leader emphasized that the coalition forming the ADC was based on the need to change Nigeria's political landscape, which has led the country into crisis.

He stressed that true democracy means giving people the right to choose leaders who will improve their lives, not those focused solely on the next election.The ADC's stance reflects a growing frustration with APC's governance and a call for a more accountable political system.
