African Democratic Congress questions Federal Government's cash relief program
What happened
The African Democratic Congress described the Federal Government’s N50,000 monthly cash relief for poor Nigerians as an election gimmick. The party stated the gesture was a panic reaction ahead of the 2027 election, rather than a genuine effort to address the cost-of-living crisis. The ADC also questioned the accountability for previous cash transfers flagged by the Auditor-General.
