The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council (ADC‑PCC) has blasted the All Progressives Congress (APC) for unveiling a new 2027–2031 manifesto that it says merely repackages promises made in the 2023 election.
The document, titled “2027–2031: From Reforms to Prosperity Agenda,” was presented in Jigawa State and, according to the ADC‑PCC, offers no credible plan to tackle Nigeria’s economic hardship, insecurity and rising poverty.
In a statement signed by its Director of Media and Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan, the council said the Tinubu administration’s 2023 pledges—improved electricity, affordable food, a stronger naira, job creation and better security—have not materialised. “Nigerians are still struggling with unreliable electricity, high food prices, currency depreciation, unemployment and persistent attacks by terrorists and bandits,” the statement added.
The council also criticised the government’s removal of the fuel subsidy, increased taxation and continued borrowing, questioning what Nigerians have gained from those policies. It highlighted the rising debt burden and asked how borrowed funds have improved public infrastructure and living conditions. The remarks of President Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, acknowledging that the economic reforms had not produced the expected results, were cited as supporting evidence of the administration’s failure to deliver relief.
“What President Bola Ahmed Tinubu unveiled today is not a new manifesto. It is a repackaged catalogue of failed promises,” the statement read.
The ADC‑PCC urged voters to reject what it described as recycled promises and to consider the ADC as an alternative committed to economic stability, national security and accountability. “Enough of recycled promises. Nigerians deserve results, not another four years of excuses,” it added, warning that the 2027 general election would give citizens a chance to assess the Tinubu administration’s performance in the economy, security, employment, corruption and public welfare.
