The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council (ADC-PCC) has criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his perceived lack of empathy towards Nigerians grappling with insecurity, hunger, and economic hardships. The council urged Tinubu to emulate French President Emmanuel Macron, who recently postponed his planned state visit to Nigeria due to domestic challenges.
Macron's decision to delay his visit, originally scheduled for October 28-29, 2026, until early 2027, has sparked a discussion about the importance of prioritizing domestic issues before engaging with the international community. The ADC-PCC noted that Nigeria is currently facing serious security and economic challenges, including violent attacks, mass abductions, community displacements, and unlawful detentions.
The opposition council specifically highlighted a reported incident in Niger State where over 60 young Nigerians were allegedly detained under inhumane conditions, with more than 37 dying in custody. The council called on Tinubu's administration to show urgent concern for the affected citizens, providing accountability, compassion, and taking responsibility for the nation's domestic issues.
