ADC Slams Tinubu Administration Over Insecurity Amid UN Security Council Push

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has strongly criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration over what it described as the worsening state of insecurity in Nigeria.

In a statement reported by Vanguard on Monday, September 29, 2025, the party’s spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, faulted the government’s priorities, questioning why it is seeking a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council while Nigerians face increasing threats from bandits at home.

According to Abdullahi, bandits have overrun some communities across the country, leaving citizens vulnerable to killings and displacement.

“The ADC finds it absurd that the Tinubu administration could be requesting a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, even as bandits slaughter Nigerians at home and take control of some of the nation’s territories,” he said.

The ADC emphasized that the government must focus on securing the lives and property of Nigerians first, stressing that no global recognition would hold meaning if the country continues to grapple with internal security crises.
