What happened

Well supportedReported by 16 independent outlets

The African Democratic Congress accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of operating in 'panic mode' ahead of the 2027 general elections. The party stated that the Federal Government's proposed N50,000 monthly cash relief was an election gimmick, driven by a desire to regain public support after promising to reduce the cost of living for Nigerians. The African Democratic Congress argued that the timing of the intervention was a reaction to opposition campaign promises, not a genuine effort to alleviate suffering.
