ADC Chieftain Slams Tinubu, Warns Against ‘One-Party Agenda’ Ahead of 2027

A senior figure in the African Democratic Congress has launched a scathing attack on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, accusing his administration of steering Nigeria toward what he described as a dangerous political path ahead of the 2027 elections.

Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a prominent voice within the ADC, said it was “sad and unfortunate” that the current government had allegedly drifted from the ideals that brought the All Progressives Congress (APC) to power.

In a statement released to the media, Eze claimed there were coordinated efforts by the administration to interfere in the affairs of opposition parties, warning that such actions could weaken Nigeria’s multiparty democracy.

He argued that any perceived attempt to secure an uncontested path to re-election in 2027 would be strongly resisted by Nigerians, whom he described as increasingly determined to defend democratic principles.

The ADC chieftain also praised the party’s leadership and supporters for speaking out, particularly commending ongoing protests in Lagos, which he said reflect growing public frustration with the current political climate.

Eze urged party leaders to sustain the demonstrations beyond symbolic action, insisting that continuous pressure was necessary to send a clear message about the demand for credible and transparent elections.

He further called on Nigerians to rally behind the ADC, framing the moment as a broader struggle to preserve democratic values and prevent what he alleged could become a one-party dominance.

Taking his criticism further, Eze accused the government of prioritising political survival over governance, claiming that economic hardship and public dissatisfaction have worsened under the current administration.

He concluded by urging citizens to remain resolute, stressing that collective action would be key to shaping Nigeria’s political future as the next general election approaches.
