The senator representing Sokoto South, Aminu Tambuwal, has accused the administration of President Bola Tinubu of worsening insecurity, poverty and hunger across Nigeria.
Mr Tambuwal made the remarks while addressing delegates at the state congress of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in Sokoto.
“I believe Nigerians have seen for themselves what Bola Ahmed Tinubu can deliver, if at all anything has been delivered,” he said.
“This administration has only brought more insecurity, poverty and hunger.”
The senator also alleged mismanagement and diversion of public resources, warning that such funds could be used to influence voters ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to him, the country’s worsening economic situation has led to rising unemployment and deepening hardship, which he said falls far short of Nigerians’ expectations of leadership.
Mr Tambuwal also criticised the Sokoto State Government, accusing it of failing to meet the expectations of the people, though he did not provide specific details.
He, however, urged members of the ADC to remain united and intensify grassroots mobilisation across the state.
“As you can see, by the grace of God, we will continue to mobilise for increased membership in unity and cohesion,” he said.
He also appealed to members to remain strong and resolute in the face of what he described as intimidation by the ruling party.
“We are standing firm — no shaking, no surrender, no retreat,” he said, while cautioning against any attempt to stifle opposition voices.
Mr Tambuwal added that the party would continue to strengthen its structures at the grassroots as it prepares for future elections.
