The National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Bolaji Abdullahi, has criticized President Bola Tinubu over the current security situation in the country, accusing the administration of failing to address worsening insecurity.
Abdullahi’s remarks followed a resurfaced 2014 statement by Tinubu in which the then opposition leader condemned Boko Haram attacks in the North-East.
In a tweet dated September 9, 2014, Tinubu had written: “The festering Boko Haram attacks on the North-East and massacre of innocent citizens is concrete proof that Nigeria has no government.”
Reacting to the President’s past comment, Abdullahi drew parallels with the present security climate.
“The festering insecurity and violent attacks in Kwara, Katsina and other parts of the country, and massacre of innocent Nigerians is concrete proof that Nigeria has no government,” Abdullahi wrote in a post on X.
The ADC spokesman broadened the focus beyond the North-East, citing security challenges in multiple states as evidence of what he described as systemic governance failure.
His remarks add to growing political criticism over the federal government’s handling of insecurity, which has remained a major national concern amid reports of banditry, kidnappings, and communal violence in different parts of the country.
