Failed 112 emergency line demo exposes govt failure, says NDC

The National Campaign Council of the Nigeria Democratic Congress has condemned the failure of Nigeria’s 112 emergency line during a live television demonstration as a "national embarrassment", accusing the federal government of inadequate public service provision. The incident, which occurred during a Channels Television programme featuring an All Progressives Congress member, exposed the state of the country's emergency response infrastructure and questioned the government's preparedness to protect citizens.

The council's spokesperson, Chiogo Ikokwu, raised concerns about the government's priorities, stating that public resources should be used to deliver results, not to manufacture positive headlines.
