The Presidential Campaign Council of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has condemned what it described as the distribution of cash, gifts and food at campaign rallies for President Bola Tinubu.

In a statement signed by its Director of Strategic Communication, Phrank Shaibu, on 11th November, 2026, the Council said that at a time when Nigerians are struggling to afford food, transport, and basic necessities, the display of cash at political gatherings raises concerns.

It said: “The pattern is becoming impossible to ignore. From reports of luxury vehicles presented to APC women leaders to cash and cooked food distributed by the president’s son through the City Boy Movement and now videos circulating of an APC woman leader handing out money and fabrics, the ruling party appears to be treating political support as something that can be bought.

“The same authorities that have pursued ordinary Nigerians over alleged abuse of the Naira must explain why apparent cash distribution by political operatives at campaign events should be treated differently. The EFCC and INEC must investigate these incidents and take appropriate action wherever electoral or currency laws have been breached.”

The Council said after three and a half years of economic hardship, rising insecurity and mounting public debt, the APC has little to show Nigerians.

It added that cash, gifts and displays cannot conceal a record of failure, noting that the administration has pushed millions into poverty while Nigerians continue to demand answers about the scale, terms and use of government borrowing.

“No amount of money can compel Nigerians to endorse a government that has made life harder for them. The people’s votes are not for sale, and no crowd can substitute for their verdict at the ballot box,” it said.

The ADC PCC called on the EFCC and INEC to examine the reported distributions and publicly state what steps they will take, adding that political parties must not be permitted to use cash or gifts to induce support.

The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council (ADC-PCC) has warned Nigerians against waiting for President Bola Tinubu to fulfil his campaign promise of providing reliable electricity.

The Council challenged the President to explain why millions of Nigerians continue to experience poor power supply despite his pledge that voters should not re-elect him if he fails to deliver electricity.

In a statement by its Director of Media and Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan, the ADC-PCC accused Tinubu of making fresh promises during his recent campaign outings in Kaduna, Rivers and Jigawa states instead of presenting a clear account of his administration’s achievements.

Recalling the President’s campaign promise, the Council quoted him as saying: “If I don’t give you electricity, don’t vote for me for a second term.”

“Tinubu is only repeating his old electricity promise in Jigawa, while Nigerians are still waiting for answers on why reliable power supply remains out of reach,” the Council said.

The Council also questioned the whereabouts and impact of 2,000 tractors reportedly imported from Brazil under the administration’s mechanised farming programme.

It further accused Tinubu of taking credit for projects started by his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari, while failing to show enough achievements of his own.
