The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of trying to buy public support for President Bola Tinubu through cash and gift distributions at political events. The ADC's Presidential Campaign Council has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to investigate the alleged inducements.
They argue that the APC's 2027–2031 manifesto largely consists of recycled promises made during the 2023 presidential campaign, offering little beyond repeated assurances of economic prosperity, improved security, stable electricity, and job creation. The opposition group cited the distribution of luxury vehicles, money, and food by the President's son and videos of APC women leaders handing out cash and fabrics as evidence of the ruling party's attempts to manipulate voters.
The ADC-PCC maintains that no amount of financial inducements can compensate for the economic hardships, rising insecurity, and mounting public debt facing Nigerians since Tinubu's administration took office in May 2023.
