A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Aisha Yesufu, has criticised the administration of Bola Tinubu over what she described as poor governance, claiming that Nigeria as a country is a “glitch” where “nothing is going on”.
The activist said this on Thursday when she featured as a guest on a Channels Television interview programme: “Politics Today.”
Yesufu lamented the poor economic and security situation in the country.
She said: “Right now, Nigeria as a whole is a glitch.
“There is nothing working, whether economically or in terms of security.
“We don’t have any of that.
“I just explained to you: people are being taken away, people are being killed, and terrorists are coming out to show us their faces.
“Nigeria is a glitch on its own.
“It’s on a standstill.
“There’s no governance and nothing is going on.”
When Yesufu, who is the chairman of the ADC Online Registration Sub-Committee, was asked about the initial challenges encountered after the party launched its online registration portal, she explained that the party’s website never experienced any glitch but was undergoing periodic updates to improve the process.
She said: “There is no website that you don’t continue improving on.
“It never had any problem.
“Even this glitch you are talking about, there was no glitch.
“Was there ever a time that you went to register and you didn’t register?
“Was there ever a time that you went to register and the page was down, or the website was down, or the app was down?
“There was nothing.”
Yesufu also said that many Nigerians had already registered with the opposition party since the commencement of the online registration exercise, though she declined to give the exact number.
She added that the ADC was overwhelmed by the level of support shown by Nigerians so far.
Asked if her party could match the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general election, she responded in the affirmative, saying the APC had little to offer.
She acknowledged that the ruling party has over 30 governors but insisted that the ADC has the support of Nigerians.
She said: “Do they (APC) have anything?
“Yes, they have 30 governors, but we have over two hundred and something million Nigerians minus the 30 governors and the few other supporters that they have.”
