Monday, October 12, 2026 - The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of worsening economic hardship in Nigeria, saying its policies have placed an enormous burden on ordinary citizens.
The Jigawa State governorship candidate of the party, Sabo
Muhammad Nakudu, stated this in a post on his official Facebook page on Sunday.
Nakudu said the economic policies introduced by the Tinubu
administration since May 29, 2023, had made life increasingly difficult for
many Nigerians.
He called for urgent and sustained measures to address the
situation and improve the living conditions of citizens.
The ADC candidate blamed the economic difficulties on the
policies of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), arguing that Nigerians
deserved better living conditions.
Nakudu also described the one-month reduction in fuel prices
announced by the Tinubu administration as deceptive, insisting that Nigerians
needed more sustainable relief from the rising cost of living.
He linked the price reduction to a proposal by former
Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, the ADC’s presidential candidate, to restore
fuel subsidy if elected president in 2027.
According to Nakudu, ordinary Nigerians have continued to
suffer since the Federal Government announced the removal of fuel subsidy on
May 29, 2023.
He said the temporary fuel price reduction, which he
attributed to pressure arising from Atiku’s proposal, was insufficient to
address the economic challenges confronting the country.
Nakudu urged Nigerians not to regard the price reduction as
a permanent measure, alleging that it was intended to mislead the public.
He said the ADC’s objective was to rescue ordinary Nigerians
from the economic hardship and insecurity which, according to him, had
characterised the APC-led government.
