‘Defeat terrorists, not opposition’ - ADC tackles Tinubu over ‘fight to finish’ remark

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has sharply criticized President Bola Tinubu's recent "fight to finish" remark, urging him to prioritize combating terrorism and insecurity over political rivalries. The opposition party stated that Nigerians expect decisive action against the nation's security challenges, not a renewed political confrontation.

In a statement, the ADC emphasized that the current administration should focus its efforts on addressing the pervasive insecurity plaguing the country. They suggested that the President's rhetoric risks diverting attention and resources from the urgent need to defeat terrorist groups and other criminal elements threatening the peace and stability of Nigeria.

The party's stance highlights a growing concern among some political actors and the public regarding the government's approach to national security. The ADC's call for a shift in focus underscores the demand for tangible results in the fight against insurgency and banditry, which have had a significant impact on daily life and economic activities across various regions of Nigeria.

By challenging the President's pronouncement, the ADC positions itself as a voice advocating for a more security-centric governance agenda. Their statement implies a belief that political maneuvering should not overshadow the critical imperative of ensuring the safety and well-being of all citizens. The opposition party's message is clear: the primary battle should be against those who threaten lives and livelihoods, not against political opponents.
