“The fight Nigerians elected you to lead is not against the opposition. It is against the terrorists, kidnappers and armed criminals who continue to kill innocent citizens and destabilise communities across the country,” the statement said. Describing Tinubu as Nigeria’s “Statement Maker-in-Chief”, the ADC accused the administration of responding to security incidents with repeated condemnations and sympathy messages instead of decisive action. It argued that while the President had become “a commentator” on insecurity, he had chosen to be “a combatant” against the opposition. The party maintained that the President should reserve his pledge to “fight to the finish” for terrorists, bandits and kidnappers rather than opposition parties.
