ADC Campaign Tells Tinubu To Account For Borrowings

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has challenged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to account for the N5.8 trillion subsidy windfall as evidence of transparency and accountability.

The ADC rooted the challenge through Senator Abdul’aziz Yari, the Director-General of President Tinubu’s re-election campaign and requested explanations for what Nigerians have gained from the trillions of naira generated by fuel subsidy removal before dismissing promises of relief as a “lie.”

ADC, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, said:

If the message of the President’s re-election campaign is that Nigerians must accept today’s hardship as permanent and anyone promising relief is a liar, then Nigerians must be seriously concerned.

The party said the situation was even more troubling because increased revenues appeared to have led only to increased government borrowing. About 20 states reportedly borrowed N458 billion in 2025 despite the surge in FAAC receipts.

After N47.25 trillion to states in three years, Nigerians have a right to ask: where are the results?
