Zamfara and Beyond: ADC Warns Nigeria Is Sliding Into State Failure Under Tinubu’s Watch as Banditry Devours Our Land

By ADC Exclusive information

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has expressed concern over the reported extortion of over N56 million from farmers in Zamfara State by armed groups, as well as the chilling video of an entire village in Ifelodun Local Government of Kwara State, completely abandoned to bandits.

The opposition party declared that under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s watch and the APC, the country is sliding into a dangerous new phase of state failure.

ADC National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, in a statement on Friday, declared that “a situation where farmers had to pay money to terrorists before they could gain access to their own farmlands, is not just a Zamfara tragedy, but a national warning. A situation where people had to abandon an entire town to bandits, in the very heart of the country, is not just a local challenge but evidence of national surrender.”

The party raised the alarm that criminal elements are gradually taking over the national space as the “state has surrendered its monopoly of force and state authority is in retreat. “

The statement read, “We are dismayed that this could be happening in a country with one of the largest defence budgets in Africa, yet our farmers are left to bargain with warlords for their survival.

“We recall that in the same Zamfara state, only a few days ago, about 50 people were abducted in one swoop.

“Added to this is the eerie picture of an entire town where all the people, the young, the old and the infirm had to seek refuge elsewhere for fear of bandit attacks. There are other cases which show a very alarming pattern, suggesting that other parts of the country considered safe may not be so for long.

“The pertinent question, therefore, is whether the Tinubu-led APC government is still in charge and can still be trusted to do its most fundamental duty, which is to protect the lives and properties of Nigerians.

“We recall that in November 2014, President Bola Tinubu, leader of the opposition party at the time, asked President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over the Boko Haram Challenges in the North-East of the country.

“If you control the armed forces and you are the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic, why should any part of this country be under occupation? And you give us excuses every day. In any civilised country, Jonathan should have resigned.

“Although the security situation that President Tinubu was using to campaign in 2014 had multiplied exponentially under his party and is currently enjoying great prosperity under his direct watch, no one is calling on him to resign.

“The ADC does not want President Tinubu to resign. We only ask him to do his job. We also ask the pertinent question, why did the President think that the security situation in Rivers State warranted the declaration of a state of emergency, but the one in Zamfara, with industrial-scale kidnapping and a direct challenge to the authority of the Nigerian State by way of bandit tax, does not even deserve a direct comment from him?

“We would like to urge President Tinubu to drop whatever else that preoccupies him and direct his attention to Zamfara State and other parts of the country menaced by bandits.

“If the Tinubu administration cannot guarantee the safety of our farms and farming communities, if people could be forced to abandon their homes out of fear, then it has failed in its most basic responsibility. You cannot boast that you are in charge of your country while your citizens are negotiating their survival with criminals.”

Obi Addresses Renaming of Charly Boy Bus Stop and Other Public Facilities in Lagos

By ADC Exclusive information..

Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has reacted to the renaming of Charly Boy Bus Stop and other landmarks in Lagos, describing the development as irrelevant considering the country’s worsening economic conditions.

Recall that the Bariga Local Council Development Area (LCDA) recently decided to rename several public places, including the popular Charly Boy Bus Stop, now called Olamide Baddo Bus Stop in honour of music star Olamide Gbenga Adedeji
The move led to outrage among citizens, many of whom called for a reversal.

Obi, during a recent interaction with veteran entertainer Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, said he considered such actions unimportant in the face of poverty and hardship facing millions of Nigerians.

“To me, it is totally irrelevant when you have millions of people who don’t know where their next meal will come from,” he said.

The former governor of Anambra State recalled that during his time in office, he refused to name any public facility after himself or allow anyone else to do so, despite multiple suggestions.

“I built a facility in a hospital, and the owner said it should be named after me or my mother. I declined. I never commissioned any project or named anything after myself because they were done with public money. That’s why some people say I didn’t do much publicity as governor.”

Obi added that if elected president in the future, his approach would remain the same—focused on functionality, not personal recognition.

“Even when I become President, my name is not going to be in any of the facilities. All I want is for the facility to function,” he declared

Nigerian Medical Association Demands Urgent Federal Action to Prevent Nationwide Healthcare Shutdown Amid Striking Doctors’ 16-Point Agenda

By ADC Exclusive information

The Nigerian Medical Association has urged the Federal Government to urgently address the demands of Nigerian doctors before the expiration of the 21-day strike notice to avert a shutdown of healthcare services nationwide.

Chairman of the Ekiti State chapter of the NMA, Dr Ifedayo Oreyemi, and Secretary, Dr Akinluyi Oluwatobi, commended President Bola Tinubu for reportedly directing relevant government agencies to engage with medical professionals on their grievances.

They, however, called for swift action on the President’s directive.

In a communiqué issued at the end of the association’s 28th Annual General Meeting held in Ado Ekiti on Sunday, Oreyemi and Oluwatobi reiterated that the doctors’ demands, captured in a 16-point agenda, revolve around improved welfare and a comprehensive overhaul of the country’s healthcare system.

The doctors’ demands, if implemented, will adequately address the problem of brain drain in Nigeria and place the country’s healthcare delivery system on the global map,” the communiqué partly stated.

The NMA commended the Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, for his sustained commitment to workers’ welfare, noting his administration’s recent implementation of the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure for doctors in public health facilities in the state

However, the association appealed to the governor to ensure the “speedy implementation and payment of the 2025 Medical Residency Training Fund to resident doctors in Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital,” to enable them to compete favourably with their counterparts in federal teaching hospitals who have already received the same funds.”

ADC Exclusive: DEVASTATING MASSACRE IN BURKINA FASO—Nearly 50 Soldiers Killed as Militants Storm Military Base in Dargo

By ADC Exclusive Information

An attack by an armed group on a military base in northern Burkina Faso has left about 50 soldiers dead, according to accounts by a community leader and a resident on Tuesday.

The Jama’at Nasr al-Islam wal-Muslimin group, or JNIM, was suspected of carrying out the attack Monday on the base in Dargo in Boulsa province in the northern region of the landlocked West African nation.

The two sources, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they feared repercussions from the military, said about 100 militants participated in the attack, and that the gunmen burned and looted the base after the killings.

The military government has yet to publicly acknowledge the attack.

JNIM, one of several armed groups conducting attacks across West Africa, has been blamed for hundreds of civilian and military deaths. Burkina Faso is witnessing a surge in attacks by armed groups who are in control of most of the country, especially outside of the capital.

The deteriorating security situation has led to political shifts in the country and served as the pretext for back-to-back coups. The military leader, Ibrahim Traore, has been unable to rein in the Islamist groups despite his redrawing of political and military allies.

Southern Solidarity for Tinubu? Analyzing the Regional Appointments and Political Dynamics Ahead of 2027

By ADC Exclusive Information,

As Nigeria gears up for the 2027 general elections, reports suggest that Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the current political heavyweight and President-elect, is making strategic moves to consolidate support across the southern regions of the country. A recent message circulating among political circles indicates plans for Tinubu to meet with traditional rulers in the South in an effort to rally their backing and influence voter turnout.

However, beneath this political maneuvering lies a complex landscape of regional governance and power distribution. Critics and political analysts are now dissecting the current appointments of substantive ministers across the southern zones to understand the real dynamics at play.

**Regional Distribution of Ministerial Appointments**

*Southwest — Tinubu's Political Powerhouse*

The Southwest, often regarded as Tinubu's political stronghold, currently boasts a significant concentration of substantive ministerial positions. Notable ministries under his regional influence include:

- Petroleum
- Interior
- Education
- Communication
- Trade and Investment
- Solid Minerals
- Blue Economy
- Finance
- Youth Development
- Power
- Customs
- DG FAAN
- Army
- IGP
- Immigration
- CBN
- FIRS
- NPA
- NIMASA

In total, there are approximately 20 key government agencies and ministries linked to the Southwest, underscoring Tinubu’s deep-rooted influence in the region.

*South-South — Limited but Strategic Appointments*

The South-South region, rich in oil and natural resources, currently holds fewer ministerial positions:

- Aviation
- FCT (Federal Capital Territory)
- Regional Development

Total: 3 ministries. The concentration here appears more strategic, potentially aimed at fostering regional development and resource management.

*Southeast — Minimal Presence*

The Southeast has only two known substantive ministries:

- Works
- Science and Technology

This sparse distribution raises questions about regional representation and political inclusivity within Tinubu’s current governance structure.

**Implications for Nigeria’s Political Future**

The ongoing appointments and regional distributions highlight that the upcoming electoral contest may not be merely a North versus South battle. Instead, it reflects deeper issues concerning governance, regional representation, and the future trajectory of Nigeria.

Analysts contend that Tinubu’s regional appointments and recent political moves suggest an effort to strengthen his influence across Nigeria’s diverse zones. Yet, critics argue that the real challenge lies in addressing the socio-economic disparities and ensuring equitable development nationwide.

**Conclusion**

While the planned meetings with traditional rulers in the South may serve as political strategy, Nigeria’s future depends on more than regional solidarity. It hinges on inclusive governance, equitable resource distribution, and national unity. As the 2027 elections approach, all eyes will be on how political leaders navigate these complex regional and national issues.

Breaking: Senate Demands Explanation for N210 Trillion in Unaccounted Funds from NNPCL, Sparks National Outcry on Transparency in Nigeria’s Oil Sector

By ADC Exclusive Information

The Senate has summoned the management of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to explain the whereabouts of a staggering N210 trillion in unaccounted funds, raising fresh concerns over financial transparency in the nation’s oil sector.

The red chamber, through its Committee on Public Accounts, chaired by Senator Ahmed Wadada Aliyu (Nasarawa West), issued the demand on Tuesday and gave the NNPCL management three weeks to submit written responses to 19 audit queries stemming from the 2017 to 2023 financial statements.

According to the committee, the amount in question is made up of N103 trillion in liabilities and N107 trillion in assets, as extracted from reports by the Office of the Auditor-General for the Federation.

The committee emphasized that the funds are not presumed stolen or missing but remain unaccounted for within the corporation’s financial records.

“There are none out of the 18 or 19 questions we have on NNPCL that came from us as a committee, neither did it come from the Executive or Judiciary. They are questions extracted from the audited financial statements of the NNPCL by the Auditor-General covering 2017 to 2023,” Senator Wadada explained.

“Also, this committee had not at any time said the N210 trillion in question has been stolen or is missing. What the committee is doing is a required investigation on queries raised in the report, in line with its constitutional mandate,” he added.

The committee’s resolution followed an appearance by the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of NNPCL, Engr. Bayo Ojulari, who apologized for previously failing to honor several invitations by the Senate panel. Ojulari, who has been in office for just over 100 days, appealed for more time to respond to the complex audit queries.

“I’m just over 100 days in office as the GCEO of NNPCL. I still need time to do further digging, given the perspectives I have heard now into the issues.

This is coming in the midst of a huge national assignment, and your explanation now changes my perspective about the issues,” Ojulari told the committee.

“I need to understand the issues myself so I can respond appropriately. I will get a team and please get the details properly reconciled so we can work to provide answers to the queries. In doing this, I will surely engage the external auditors and other relevant groups,” he added.
While Ojulari initially requested four weeks, the Senate committee approved a three-week deadline, after which he and other top NNPCL officials are expected to appear in person to defend their responses.

Members of the committee raised eyebrows over the financial discrepancies. Senator Victor Umeh (Anambra Central, APGA) noted: “We are happy to have you because we have been waiting for you. One thing that must be stated clearly is that we need transparency, and NNPCL is in possession of Nigeria’s economic prosperity.”

Senator Babangida Hussaini (Jigawa North West) added:
“There is need for the NNPCL management team to look into the issues raised since governance is a continuum. The issues are germane and critical.”

On his part, Senator Tony Nwoye (Anambra North) urged caution, stating:
“It is very important and germane to give them (NNPCL) fair hearing. Maybe the audited report is not correct.”

The NNPCL, which has faced repeated accusations from the National Assembly over non-remittance of revenue to the Federation Account, is once again under the spotlight as the Senate seeks to determine the financial health and accountability of Nigeria’s most strategic revenue-generating agency.
