The African Democratic Congress (ADC), has raised concerns over President Bola Tinubu’s leadership, questioning his control over government appointments and calling on the National Assembly to investigate his continued fitness to remain in office.
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the opposition party cited the recent controversy surrounding the Border Communities Development Agency, BCDA, as evidence of what it described as growing uncertainty within the administration.
The ADC alleged that the situation suggests presidential directives on appointments and removals may be facing resistance from unelected individuals.
The party also referenced the controversy surrounding the alleged Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, PFIPC, and previous policy reversals, arguing that they point to a pattern of administrative inconsistency.
It accused the administration of announcing policies and later withdrawing them following public reaction, citing examples such as the Cybersecurity Levy and Expatriate Employment Levy.
The opposition party said such developments could undermine public confidence, investor trust and the authority of government institutions.
The ADC urged the National Assembly to exercise its constitutional oversight role and determine whether the President is fully in control of his office.
It added that if the President can no longer effectively assert authority over his administration, he should consider resigning.
The Presidency has not responded to the allegations.
