ADC Slams Tinubu Over Rising Insecurity As Trump Threatens U.S. Military Action In Nigeria
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has sharply criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, saying the worsening insecurity across Nigeria has now drawn global concern following U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent comments.
Trump had, on October 31, 2025, named Nigeria a “country of particular concern” and threatened to deploy American troops if what he described as “the persecution of Christians” continued.
In a statement signed by Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC’s National Publicity Secretary, the party said Trump’s declaration was a reflection of Nigeria’s deteriorating security situation and the government’s failure to protect its citizens.
“We are guided by the painful reality that what is really at stake are thousands of human lives lost to insecurity in Nigeria — irrespective of tribe, religion, or region,” the ADC stated.
The party added that the U.S. President’s remarks serve as a reminder of the global expectation for leaders to safeguard their citizens.
“The statement by President Trump reminds us of the sanctity of human life and the core responsibility of every government to protect its people,” Abdullahi said.
The ADC accused Tinubu’s government of allowing insecurity to worsen, citing reports that nearly 15,000 Nigerians have been killed since June 2023.
“The crisis we face today is no longer regional or religious — it is a national existential threat that endangers all Nigerians,” the statement warned.
The party also condemned the administration for failing to appoint ambassadors two years into office, calling the excuse of “lack of funds” unacceptable for a government that boasts of increased revenue.
It further proposed urgent policy actions including:
A total overhaul of Nigeria’s security architecture
Appointment of ambassadors and foreign policy reset
Targeted economic reforms to curb inflation
Depoliticisation of public institutions
While rejecting Trump’s threat of military intervention, the ADC urged the U.S. and other global partners to offer institutional support instead.
“Mobilising armed troops or even issuing threats would do more harm than good. Nigeria is not beyond saving, but time is running out,” the statement concluded.
