  "summary": "The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has criticized the All Progressives Congress (APC) over allegations of a poorly attended rally in Kaduna, with claims that the event was marred by empty seats and rented crowds. ADC-PCC Director of Media and Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan, alleged that the rally, billed as a Northwest zonal flag-off, failed to demonstrate the ruling party's level of public support and that many empty seats were observed despite claims of large-scale mobilisation. The ADC further accused the APC of repeating election campaign promises without addressing the country's economic difficulties, specifically pointing to the removal of fuel subsidies and urging Nigerians to express their views through the ballot in the next general election.",
