The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has questioned the fitness of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to continue in office, calling on the National Assembly to investigate what it described as growing signs of administrative dysfunction and controversial appointments within the Federal Government.
In a statement issued on Friday, July 17, 2026, by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the opposition party alleged that recent controversies surrounding appointments, particularly at the Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA), have raised serious concerns about who is exercising authority within the Presidency. The ADC claimed the situation suggests that official presidential directives can be disregarded without consequence, prompting questions over the President’s control of his administration.
The party also referenced the earlier controversy involving the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), arguing that repeated governance controversies and policy inconsistencies point to a deeper institutional crisis.
It urged the National Assembly to activate constitutional mechanisms to determine whether the President remains fit to discharge the responsibilities of his office, insisting that if he can no longer effectively exercise executive authority, he should consider stepping aside.
As of the time of filing this report, the Presidency had not issued an official response to the ADC’s latest allegations.
The development adds to the intensifying political exchanges between the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and opposition parties as preparations for the 2027 general elections gather momentum.
