bloomshorts ADC Criticizes Tinubu’s Northern Appointments
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has sharply criticized President Bola Tinubu’s recent political appointments, describing them as an insincere attempt to regain the trust of Northern Nigerians after years of neglect. The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, accused the administration of engaging in ‘political panic management’ rather than fostering genuine national inclusion.
Tokenism vs. Genuine Inclusion
ADC’s statement highlighted the administration’s alleged systematic sidelining of the North from critical decision-making processes, emphasizing that recent appointments are seen as ‘consolation prizes’ rather than meaningful steps towards equity. The party urged the President to move beyond symbolic gestures and embrace policies that reflect true commitment to national unity and the principles of federal character.
APC Fires Back
In response, the All Progressives Congress (APC) condemned the ADC’s remarks as insensitive, particularly in light of the recent state burial of former President Muhammadu Buhari. The APC defended President Tinubu’s actions, praising his leadership and compassion during the nation’s period of mourning.
