  "account": "The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council (ADC-PCC) has criticized Vice President Kashim Shettima for claiming that President Bola Tinubu saved Nigeria from economic collapse. The council argues that the current administration cannot disown the record of the All Progressives Congress (APC) government under President Muhammadu Buhari, as Shettima's statement attributes the economic failures to the Buhari administration. The ADC-PCC spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, stated that Shettima's assertion is self-indicting and insinuates that the Buhari-led APC deceived Nigerians for eight years. Ologbondiyan also accused the APC government of failing across various sectors, citing issues such as poor infrastructure, rising cost of living, and the lack of affordable food and basic necessities. He emphasized that the immediate concern of Nigerians is not political propaganda but meeting their basic needs.",
