The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused the Bola Tinubu administration of allowing corruption to thrive unchecked, stating that the problem has enjoyed "great freedom" under the current government. Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC’s National Publicity Secretary, explained the party's decision to describe corruption as "economic banditry" to highlight the severity of the issue and its impact on Nigeria.
He likened corruption to violent banditry, emphasizing that it can be as harmful to the country as violent crime, damaging lives, the economy, and society at large. However, Abdullahi also alleged that the Tinubu administration has been particularly lenient towards corruption, citing the composition of the president's campaign team as evidence of its corrupt-friendly nature.
The ADC spokesman accused the government of protecting and appointing individuals facing corruption allegations. He pledged that if elected, the ADC would prioritize the fight against corruption as a key element of its governance agenda and called on Nigerians to support their efforts to challenge the Tinubu administration.
