“The most important thing is that our job is half done with the current hunger in the land. The major task we have is to convince Nigerians that we are the alternative.
“What is clear is that Nigerians don’t want APC anymore. Any Nigerian who is suffering today knows that they don’t want APC anymore. We must convince Nigerians that we represent the alternative.
“So a hungry person knows he doesn’t want to continue to be hungry. A person who can’t afford to pay hospital bills knows that he doesn’t want to continue. So, we don’t have any problems convincing Nigerians that they are suffering.
“We only have a challenge convincing Nigerians that we are different and that we are going to represent the alternative.
“Why we created ADC was that this current administration has increased the suffering of Nigerians as a result of its catastrophic policies and how they increased fuel price, the vulcanizer that needs fuel for his tyre pumping machine knows how much effect it is having on him now.
“Parents sending their children to school know how much they give their children to school to eat. N5,000 now is not up to the N500 before the APC came on board. And they caused everything.
“With the current hunger in the land, they know that Nigerians don’t want them again. What did they do? They saw that the opposition parties that can stand against them in 2027 must be scattered because they won’t be able to stand against them” – ADC spokesman Abdullahi.
*********************************
Bola Tinubu’s squandering of funds – both local revenue and billions of dollars in foreign loans – and the economic hardship he imposed on citizens will make it easy to campaign for voters to understand the need to sack him from the Villa in 2027, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has enthused.
Interim ADC National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi implored the electorate to rally round the party at the ballot box, pledging that prices of petroleum products would be drastically reduced and the current harsh hunger banished from the country.
Abdullahi, a former member of Tinubu’s All Progressives Congress (APC) who served as Youth and Sports Development Minister in the Muhammadu Buhari regime, made the pledge in Ilorin.
“The most important thing is that our job is half done with the current hunger in the land. The major task we have is to convince Nigerians that we are the alternative,” he said.
“What is clear is that Nigerians don’t want APC anymore. Any Nigerian who is suffering today knows that they don’t want APC anymore. We must convince Nigerians that we represent the alternative.
“So a hungry person knows he doesn’t want to continue to be hungry. A person who can’t afford to pay hospital bills knows that he doesn’t want to continue. So, we don’t have any problems convincing Nigerians that they are suffering.
“We only have a challenge convincing Nigerians that we are different and that we are going to represent the alternative.
Reason why ADC was adopted
“Why we [adopted] ADC was that this current administration has increased the suffering of Nigerians as a result of its catastrophic policies and how they increased fuel price, the vulcanizer that needs fuel for his tyre pumping machine knows how much effect it is having on him now.
“Parents sending their children to school know how much they give their children to school to eat. N5,000 now is not up to the N500 before the APC came on board. And they caused everything.
“With the current hunger in the land, they know that Nigerians don’t want them again. What did they do? They saw that the opposition parties that can stand against them in 2027 must be scattered because they won’t be able to stand against them.
“Nigerians are no more interested in them, and want to vote for another party. Look at the way they scattered other parties, including PDP, SDP, ANPP, LP. They ruptured them all.
“This step they took was what made dignified politicians come together to create ADC. We mustn’t let those people who have turned the country into chaos continue to ruin Nigeria; that was why we went to ADC.”
What ADC has to offer Nigerians
“What we can do to earn the people’s trust is we will first eradicate hunger from the nation. I had tasted hunger before, so I know what it feels like to be starved. That being said, this party will first eradicate hunger in the nation.
“Second, fuel price will be drastically reduced. With the fuel price now, one cannot make profit in business. Thirdly, we will tackle insecurity in the nation.
“Kwara State was one of the most peaceful states back then but now, Patigi, Ifelodun, Babanla are full of kidnappers and bandits. I have a farm in that area, it’s not safe for me to go there right now because of bandits.
“So all these are what is of utmost priorities to us to tackle. In this party, we have politicians from PDP, SDP, NNPP, LP. By God’s grace, we are so focused on returning peace and comfortability to Nigeria.”
