The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has criticised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s recent appointments, calling them a ‘desperate and cynical attempt’ to win back the trust of Northern Nigerians after more than a year of alleged neglect.
The party described the move as ‘too little, too late,’ accusing the government of offering symbolic gestures instead of real solutions to growing dissatisfaction in the region.
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC said the appointments appeared to be a panicked response rather than a sincere effort to correct the regional imbalance in governance.
“You cannot marginalise a region for over twenty-five months and expect applause simply because, in the twenty-sixth month, you suddenly remember that Nigeria is bigger than Lagos State,” Abdullahi said.
